《Dear Old Donegal》歌词

[00:00:00] Dear Old Donegal - The Craftsmen

[00:00:04] It seems like only yesterday

[00:00:06] I sailed from out of Cork

[00:00:08] A wanderer from Erin's isle

[00:00:10] I landed in New York

[00:00:12] There wasn't a soul to greet me there

[00:00:14] A stranger on your shore

[00:00:16] But Irish luck was with me here

[00:00:18] And riches came galore

[00:00:20] And now that I'm going back again

[00:00:22] To dear old Erin's isle

[00:00:24] My friends will meet me on the pier

[00:00:26] And greet me with a smile

[00:00:28] Their faces sure I've almost forgot

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

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

[00:00:33] And this to me will say

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

[00:00:37] And here is your sister Kate

[00:00:39] And there's the girl you used to swing

[00:00:41] Down by the garden gate

[00:00:43] Shake hands with all of the neighbours

[00:00:45] And kiss the colleens all

[00:00:47] You're as welcome as the flowers in May

[00:00:49] To dear old Donnegal

[00:00:55] They'll give a party when I go home

[00:00:56] They'll come from near and far

[00:00:58] They'll line the roads for miles and miles

[00:01:01] With Irish jauntin' cars

[00:01:02] The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay

[00:01:04] We'll fill your hearts with joy

[00:01:06] The piper'll play an Irish reel

[00:01:08] To greet the Yankee boy

[00:01:10] We'll dance and sing the whole night long

[00:01:12] Such fun as never seen

[00:01:14] The lads'll be decked in corduroy

[00:01:16] The colleens wearin' green

[00:01:18] There'll be thousands there that I never saw

[00:01:20] I've been so long away

[00:01:21] But me mother will introduce them all

[00:01:23] And this to me will say

[00:01:25] Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy

[00:01:27] And here is your sister Kate

[00:01:29] And there's the girl you used to swing

[00:01:31] Down by the garden gate

[00:01:33] Shake hands with all of the neighbours

[00:01:35] And kiss the colleens all

[00:01:38] You're as welcome as the flowers in May

[00:01:44] To dear old Donnegal
