《Dear Old Donegal》歌词

[00:00:00] Dear Old Donegal - Josef Locke & Orchestra

[00:00:06] It seems like only yesterday

[00:00:08] I sailed from out of Cork

[00:00:10] A wanderer from Erin's isle

[00:00:13] I landed in New York

[00:00:15] There wasn't a soul to greet me there

[00:00:17] A stranger on your shore

[00:00:19] But Irish luck was with me here

[00:00:21] And riches came galore

[00:00:24] And now that I'm going back again

[00:00:26] To dear old Erin's isle

[00:00:28] My friends will meet me on the pier

[00:00:31] And greet me with a smile

[00:00:33] Their faces sure I've almost forgot

[00:00:35] I've been so long away

[00:00:37] But me mother will introduce them all

[00:00:39] And this to me will say

[00:00:42] Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy

[00:00:45] And here is your sister Kate

[00:00:47] And there's the girl you used to swing

[00:00:49] Down by the garden gate

[00:00:51] Shake hands with all of the neighbours

[00:00:54] And kiss the colleens all

[00:00:56] You're as welcome as the flowers in May

[00:00:58] To dear old Donnegal

[00:01:00] They'll give a party when I go home

[00:01:03] They'll come from near and far

[00:01:05] They'll give a party when I go home

[00:01:07] They'll line the roads for miles and miles

[00:01:09] The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay

[00:01:12] We'll fill your hearts with joy

[00:01:14] The piper'll play an Irish reel

[00:01:16] To greet the Yankee boy

[00:01:18] We'll dance and sing the whole night long

[00:01:20] Such fun as never seen

[00:01:22] The lads'll be decked in corduroy

[00:01:24] The colleens wearin' green

[00:01:27] There'll be thousands there that I never saw

[00:01:29] I've been so long away

[00:01:31] But me mother will introduce them all

[00:01:34] And this to me will say

[00:01:35] Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy

[00:01:39] And here is your sister Kate

[00:01:41] And there's the girl you used to swing

[00:01:43] Down by the garden gate

[00:01:45] Shake hands with all of the neighbours

[00:01:48] And kiss the colleens all

[00:01:50] You're as welcome as the flowers in May
