FROM ERIN’S SHORE

 

Searching through our heritage

Many of us made claims

Over the course of time

Of Irish blood in our veins

 

They came from their land far away

They came from famine and fire

There was no more home for them

When they left old Mother Eire

 

(Chorus)

To be sure …. To be sure

They can still raise a smile

And think of their home

On the Emerald Isle

 

Others not willing, they came

They came on a ship in chains

At His Majesty’s pleasure

Convicted for their pains

 

(Chorus)

To be sure ….. To be sure

They pined a while

Yearning for home

On the Emerald Isle

 

(Instrumental break)

 

So we join and share a toast

On their St. Patrick’s Day

Down a pint of Guinness

In the Old Shamrock bar

 

Far from ‘The Troubles they came

They came from the Orange and Green

And those who kissed the ‘Blarney’ stone

Came from County Cork

 

(Chorus)

To be sure … to be sure

From old Erin’s shore

Drink it down, drink it down

One glass more…… 

 

(Instrumental break)

 

(Chorus)

From the Emerald Isle

From old Erin’s shore

We drink to them

One glass more

 

(Instrumental break)

 

Far from the troubles they came

They came from the Orange and Green
And those who kissed the ‘Blarney‘ Stone

They came from County Cork

 

And those who kissed the ‘Blarney‘ Stone

They came from County Cork
