DID YOUR MOTHER COME FROM IRELAND

(Click here to listen to 'Did Your Mother Come From Ireland')

Oh I've never seen old Ireland o'er the ocean
Tho' I've wished for the chance to greet it.
In my mind I've always had a crazy notion
That I'd know a bit of Irish when I meet it.

Did your mother come from Ireland?
'Cause there's something in you Irish.
Will you tell me where you get those Irish eyes?
And before she left Kilarney,
Did your mother kiss the blarney?
'Cause your little touch of brogue you can't disguise.

Oh, I wouldn't be romancin'
I can almost see you dancin'
While the Kerry pipers play.
Sure and maybe we'll be sharin'
In the shamrock you'll be wearing
On the next Saint Patrick's Day.

Did your mother come from Ireland?
'Cause there's something in you Irish.
And that bit of Irish
Steals my heart away.

Oh, I wouldn't be romancin'
I can almost see you dancin'
While the Kerry pipers play.
Shure! And maybe we'll be sharin'
In the shamrock you'll be wearing
On the next Saint Patrick's Day.

Did your mother come from Ireland?
'Cause there's something in you Irish
And that bit of Irish steals my heart away.
