Twas Only an Irishman's Dream - d**k haymes
Sure I've roamed this wide world over
And of all the lands I've seen
There's no place I'd rather do well in
Than my little isle of Green
Only last night I was gazing
On a sight that thrilled me through
But what I saw I'll see no more
Twas too good to be true
Sure the shamrocks were growing on Broadway
Every girl was an Irish colleen
And the town of New York was the county of Cork
All the buildings were painted green
Sure the Hudson looked just like the Shannon
Oh how good and how real it did seem
I could hear mother singing the Shannon bells ringing
Twas only an Irishman's dream
Sure the Hudson looked just like the Shannon
Oh how good and how real it did seem
I could hear mother singing
The Shannon bells ringing
Twas only an Irishman's dream
