Moon Over Ireland

Moon Over Ireland



There's a moon over Ireland comes in from the sea

Cross the mountains and valleys where the rivers run free

From the days of my childhood oh I've always known

There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home



Go down the one road from Cork to Killarney and follow on to Tralee

And you won't be tongue tight when you kiss the Blarney

There's no fairer place you can be



I love you Galway, Limerick and Derry

Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo and Clare

They say it's a long, long way to Tipperary

But that doesn't matter to me



I miss the Shannon the hills of Roscommon

The green fields in my memory

And I want to tell all my friends and my family

In Donegal I'm coming home



I love you Galway, Limerick and Derry

Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo and Clare

They say it's a long, long way to Tipperary

But that doesn't matter to me



There's a moon over Ireland comes in from the sea

Cross the mountains and valleys where the rivers run free

From the days of my childhood oh I've always known

There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home



There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home
