Limerick you're a lady

Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow

The beauty that surrounds you

I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.



While waking in the arms of distant waters

A new day finds me far away from home

And Limerick you're my lady

The one true love that I have ever known.



As children you and I spent endless days of fun

In winter's snow or summer's golden sun

We fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams

Was fashioned by your loveliness and so I have to say.



Chorus:

Limerick you're a lady

Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow

The beauty that surrounds you

I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.



While waking in the arms of distant waters

A new day finds me far away from home

And Limerick you're my lady

The one true love that I have ever known.



The difference time has made, for travellers on their way

Seeking out the beauty of my land

At shrines the children play, and bells ring out to say

Thank God we're living just to feel the freedom of each day.



Chorus:

Limerick you're a lady

Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow

The beauty that surrounds you

I'll take it with me love where e'er I go.



While waking in the arms of distant waters

A new day finds me far away from home

And Limerick you're my lady

The one true love that I have ever known.



While waking in the arms of distant waters

A new day finds me far away from home

And Limerick you're my lady

The one true love that I have ever known.



The one true love that I have ever known...
