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 |
