Ireland it’s the one place on earth

Ireland, it’s the one place on earth
That heaven has kissed
With melody, mirth,
And meadow and mist.

Health and a long life to you

Health and a long life to you.
Land without rent to you.
A child every year to you.
And if you can’t go to heaven,
May you at least die in Ireland.

O Ireland isn’t it grand you look –
Like a bride in her rich adornin?
And with all the pent-up love of my heart
I bid you the top o’ the mornin!

May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland’s faith and pride.

There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle

Leprechaun — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:02:12 +0000

There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
‘Twas St. Patrick himself, sure, that sets it;
And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland,
And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.

St. Patrick was a gentleman

Leprechaun — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 09:37:57 +0000

St. Patrick was a gentleman, who thru strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland, Here’s a toasting his health
But not too many lest you lose yourself and then
You forget the good St. Patrick and see those snakes again
‘Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!’
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Here’s to the land of the Shamrock

Leprechaun — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:15:38 +0000

Here’s to the land of the Shamrock so green,
Here’s to each Lad and his darlin Colleen,
Here’s to the ones we love dearest and most.
May God bless ole Ireland, that’s and Irish mans toast.
