*Shamrock* SONG OF IRELAND *Shamrock*

There is an old, old song of Ireland,
where green hills meet a clear blue sky.
I heard it once in Dublin's fair city,
a melody so haunting, as I passed by.

The lyrics had a very special rhythm,
that begged my feet to keep time.
A brogue that brought me gladness,
a feeling that everything was fine.

The beauty of the Irish countryside
will remain forever in my memories,
and the friends that I made there
have endured, far across the seas.

I found love, loyalty and friendship
that made my young heart sing,
To the waters of the river Shannon
and the gift of a Claddagh ring.

From the quaint village of Tipperary
to the Blarney Castle, rising up above,
It was in Ireland I found my heritage,
it was in Ireland I found my true love.

Hills so full of the old Irish music
that made the leprechauns dance,
I would find my way back to Ireland -
*Shamrock* Oh, if only I had the chance! *Shamrock*
