An Old Song (continued)
“It was on St. Patrick's cold and frosty morning, as I trampled through the dark and dreary man.”
(continued from previous page)You might never see the likes of it any more.
For it grew upon the rocks of Irish Blarney.
Tis my pretty four leaf Shamrock from Glenore.
II
I have travelled far across the stormy ocean.
And now I have come back to Eirn's shore.
But how ever long my life is of devotion.
It will be for the four leaf Shamrock
(Chorous) from Glenore
For its the king of all the flowers round Kilarney
You might never see the like of it any more.
For it grew upon the rocks of Irish Blarney
Tis my pretty four leaf Shamrock from Glenore.
