Back To Erin

BACK TO ERIN

I want to go back
to Erin. I want
to see that green
isle again.

I want to drink a pint
of the Guiness and a
shot of the Jamesons.  On
that green isle again.

I want to pick the lucky shamrock
and feel the soft summer rain
back, on that green
isle again.

I want to hear the bodhran thump
and the fiddle squeal as I dance
another Ceili on that green isle
again.



I want to hear the tenor croon out
Danny Boy and belt out
Whiskey in the Jar, on that
green isle again.

Next year, when I retire,
I will board that Aer Lingus Airbus
and wing my way back to
that green isle again
