It seems like yesterday I sailed from out of A wanderer from Erin's I in New York There wasn't a to greet me there A stranger on shore But Irish was with me here And came galore And now I'm going back again To old Erin's isle My friends will me on the pier And greet me a smile faces, sure, I've almost forgot I've so long away But me mother will them all And to me will say
Shake with your Uncle Mike, me boy And is your sister, Kate And the girl you used to swing Down by the gate Shake hands with all of the And the colleens all as welcome as the flowers in May To dear old
They'll give a party when I go They'll from near and far They'll line the for miles and miles Irish jauntin' cars The flow and we'll be gay fill your hearts with joy The piper'll play an Irish To greet the boy dance and sing the whole night long Such fun as seen The lads'll be in corduroy The colleens wearin' There'll be thousands that I never saw been 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 Down by the garden Shake hands with all of the And kiss the all You're as as the flowers in May To old Donnegal
