Left the shores of Ireland
Went to find a better place
Dreams of green fields calling
Seeing mother's smiling face

Working days and nights so long
In a land so far away
Heart's still in the old home
Wishing there I could stay

One day I'll return again
To the land where I belong
Raise a family in the green hills
Sing the old country song

Every day is hard and tough
But I hold on to the dream
Watching the sun rise and set
Cross the Irish sea's gleam

Letters from the old home
Mom and dad's loving words
I keep them close to my heart
Their voices I still heard

One day I'll return again
To the land where I belong
Raise a family in the green hills
Sing the old country song
