lyrics

Oh Ireland, I'd not been here long
When you poured me a Guinness and sang me a song
You rained me a river and then the sun shone
Took me away from service and bond

We took a week and a little bit more
We took the ferry to Rosslare shore
Drove down to Cobh, where the Titanic sailed
Glad I don't remember that great ship fail
Carried on down to Cork County West
Pulled out a guitar in the Travellers Rest
They'd never heard such strange English Folk
But they joined in the party, the Craic and the Joke


Oh Ireland, I'd not been here long
When you poured me a Guinness and sang me a song
You rained me a river and then the sun shone
Took me away from service and bond

Stayed with Family I'd not met before
The welcome was generous open and warm.
The air that we breathed was buttery sweet
They put food in our bellies and turf at our feet
Through Kerry Mountains we drove in my car
Singing along to Whiskey in the Jar
The hills and the waters ran down to the sea
And we sang out the chorus, Daddio and me

Oh Ireland, I'd not been here long
When you poured me a Guinness and sang me a song
You rained me a river and then the sun shone
Took me away from service and bond

Passed many houses that were once a home
Where recession and famine made ghosts of the stone
Careless invaders, too many to name
I read all the stories and feel all the shame

Oh Ireland despite what we've done
You still pour us a Guinness and sing us a song
Still rain us a river and shine us a sun
And take us away from service and bond

Oh Ireland, I'd not been here long
When you poured me a Guinness and sang me a song
You rained me a river and then the sun shone
Took me away from service and bond
