Artist/Band: Hank Locklin
Lyrics for Song: Little Bit of Heaven
Lyrics for Album: Irish Songs, Country Style [1964]



(Keirn J. Brennan - Ernest R. Ball)



Sure a little bit of heaven

Fell from out of the sky one day

And nestled on the ocean

In a spot so far away.



And when 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

It's 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...
