  1. Amhrán (continued)

    There is a dear little spot in old Ireland, that I always claim to be my land

    Oh! the river shannon is flowing and the three-leaf shamrock is growing
    Where I am my heart is ever going to my Irish rose.
    And the moment that I'll meet her with a loving hug and kiss I'll greet her.

    and their colleens pretty glances
    around the fire in dear old Erin's Isle.
