Come YE Home

*Happy St Patty's Day all!!


Come Ye Home


If you’ve a drop
Of Irish blood
swelling deep
inside your heart

and your feet
can’t keep from tapping
when a fiddler
plays his part

If your tempers
known to rise and fall
like waves on
Irish seas

And your not afraid
to shed a tear,
or pray
down on your knees

If 3 pints
of bitter porter
sooths the troubles
from your soul

and the lilt
of friendly laughter
makes your own
hard to control

If you’ve found
That Irish whiskey
gives new eyesight
to the blind

and you’ve roamed
our rocky backroads
just to see
what you could find

If you’ve heard
The “Gael” a’calling
from the mists
on Galway’s bay

Then come ye home
To Ireland
For it’s here
That ye should stay.
