It seems like only I sailed out of Cork A from Erin's isle I landed in New There a soul to greet me there A on your shore But Irish was with me here And riches galore And now that I'm back again To dear old isle My will meet me on the pier And me with a smile Their faces, sure, I've almost been so long away But me will introduce them all And to me will say
Shake hands your Uncle Mike, me boy And here is sister, Kate And there's the girl you to swing Down by the garden Shake hands with all of the And the colleens all You're as as the flowers in May To old Donnegal
They'll give a party when I go They'll come near and far They'll the roads for miles and miles With Irish jauntin' The flow and we'll be gay We'll fill your with joy The play an Irish reel To greet the boy We'll and sing the whole night long Such fun as seen The be decked in corduroy The colleens green There'll be thousands that I never saw I've so long away But me will introduce them all And this to me say
Shake with your Uncle Mike, me boy And here is your sister, And there's the girl you used to Down by the garden Shake with all of the neighbours And the colleens all You're as as the flowers in May To old Donnegal
