Back To Donegal
Lyricist:Steve Graham
It seems like only yesterday I sailed from out of cork A wanderer from Erin's isle I landed in New York
There wasn't a soul to greet me there A stranger on your shore But Irish luck was with me here And riches came galore
And now that I'm going back again To dear old Erin's isle My friends will meet me on the pier And greet me with a smile
Their faces, sure, I've almost forgot I've been so long away But me mother will introduce them all And this to me will say
Shake hands with your uncle mike, me boy And here is your sister, Kate And there's the girl you used to swing Down by the garden gate
Shake hands with all of the neighbors And kiss the Colleens all You're as welcome as the flowers in may To dear old Donegal
They'll give a party when I go home They'll come from near and far They'll line the roads for miles and miles With Irish jauntin' cars
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The spirits will flow and we'll be gay We'll fill your hearts with joy The piper will play an Irish reel To greet the Yankee boy
We'll dance and sing the whole night long Such fun as never seen The lads will be decked in corduroy The Colleens wearin' green
There'll be thousands there that I never saw I've been so long away But me mother will introduce them all And this to me will say
Shake hands with your uncle mike, me boy And here is your sister, Kate And there's the girl you used to swing Down by the garden gate
Shake hands with all of the neighbors And kiss the Colleens all You're as welcome as the flowers in may To dear old Donegal
