Not sure why, but here are the correct words:<br /><br />'Tis Irish I am and 'tis proud I am of it,<br />Though far I wander Killarney's me home.<br />I love her green meadows, her lakes and her colleens,<br />I'll wear her shamrock wherever I go.<br /><br />Then sing ye merrily, erin go braugh,<br />Patricks and bridgets, Irishmen all,<br />Though rocky the road that leads us to town,<br />It never can keep a good Irishman down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700939183611647546.post-38714274823810667062017-12-26T21:14:15.466-08:002017-12-26T21:14:15.466-08:00Hi there!

All I can remember from my childhood memory of this song, now nearly 50 yrs ago, is as follows:<br /><br />T'is Irish I am, and t'is proud I am of it, <br />Though far I wander, t'is Ireland's my home. <br />I love her green meadows, her fields and her ...<br /><br /> ... and that's where it ends. For years, I've been searching for the lyrics to this song, and now, finally, I can get it from an authority! <br /><br />Please, I would really appreciate it if you shared all the words to this song with ne.
