It seems like only I sailed out of cork A wanderer Erin's isle I landed in New
There wasn't a soul to me there A stranger on your But Irish luck was with me And came galore
And now that I'm going back To old Erin's isle My friends will me on the pier And me with a smile
Their faces, sure, I've forgot I've been so away But me mother will introduce all And this to me say
Shake with your uncle mike, me boy And here is sister, Kate And there's the you used to swing by the garden gate
Shake hands with all of the And the Colleens all You're as as the flowers in may To dear old
They'll give a party I go home They'll from near and far They'll the roads for miles and miles With Irish cars
The spirits will flow and be gay We'll fill hearts with joy The piper will play an reel To the Yankee boy
We'll and sing the whole night long fun as never seen The will be decked in corduroy The Colleens wearin'
There'll be thousands there I never saw I've so long away But me mother will them all And this to me say
Shake with your uncle mike, me boy And is your sister, Kate And there's the girl you to swing by the garden gate
Shake hands with all of the And the Colleens all You're as welcome as the in may To old Donegal
