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 it on to Tralee

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

There's no fairer place you can be

I love you Galway, Limerick and Errill

Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo, Cooraclare

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

But that doesn't matter to me

I miss the shadow, the hills of Roscommon

The Greenfields 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 Errill

Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo, Cooraclare

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
