Drink a Round to Ireland |
Father was a singing man, most of what he sang |
Had to do with Ireland, the place from where he came |
Ireland of his childhood, Ireland of his spring |
To return to Ireland was his dream |
Drink a round to Ireland boys, I’m home again |
Drink a round to Jesus Christ, who died for Irishmen |
I guess he left his dreams to me after he was gone |
And there were many years to come when I sang my father’s song |
And so I came to Ireland, here I live today |
Lately I’ve been wondering why I stay |
Drink a round to Ireland boys, I’m home again |
Drink a round to Jesus Christ who died for Irishmen |
Dad, I think you’re fortunate your dreams did not come true |
I know that it would break your heart to see the things we do |
If you could see the murder here, if you could feel the pain |
To see the way we live would bring you shame |
Drink a round to Ireland boys, I’m home again |
Drink a round to Jesus Christ who died for Irishmen |
Drink a round to Ireland boys, I’m home again |
Drink a round to Jesus Christ, who died for Irishmen |
