Maybe someday I'll go back to Ireland
If it's only at the closing of my days
Just to see again the moon rise over Claddagh
And watch the sun sink down on Galway Bay
To see again the ripple on the trout stream
And the women in the meadows making hay
Or to sit beside a turf fire in a cabin
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play
ย
The breezes blowing o'er the sea from Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands digging praties
Speak a language that the strangers do not know
And yet they came and tried to teach us their way
They scorned us too for being what we are
Sure they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
And somehow I feel sure there's going to be
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the Irish Sea
