It seems like yesterday 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 shore But Irish luck was with me And came galore
And now I'm going back again To dear old Erin's My will meet me on the pier And me with a smile
Their faces, sure, I've almost I've been so long But me will introduce them all And to me will say
Shake hands your uncle mike, me boy And is your sister, Kate And there's the girl you to swing by the garden gate
Shake with all of the neighbors And kiss the all You're as welcome as the in may To dear old
They'll a party when I go home come from near and far They'll line the for miles and miles With Irish cars
The will flow and we'll be gay fill your hearts with joy The piper will play an reel To greet the boy
We'll dance and the whole night long fun as never seen The lads will be decked in The Colleens wearin'
There'll be thousands that I never saw I've so long away But me mother introduce them all And to me will say
Shake hands your uncle mike, me boy And is your sister, Kate And there's the girl you used to Down by the garden
Shake with all of the neighbors And the Colleens all You're as as the flowers in may To old Donegal
