(Keirn J. Brennan - Ernest R. Ball)



Have you ever heard the story of the Ireland God has made

I'll tell you so you'll understand

No wonder that we're proud of dear land across the sea

For here's the way my dear old mother told the tale to me.



Sure a little bit of heaven fell from out of the sky one day

And it nestled on the ocean in a spot so far away

And the angels found it sure it looked so sweet and fair

They said suppose we leave it for it looks so peaceful there.



So they sprinkled it with stardust just to make the shamrocks grow

Tis the only place you'll find them no matter where you go

Then they dotted it with silver to make its lakes so grand

And when they had it finished sure they called it Ireland...
