Song of Ireland - Eddie Rabbitt

I remember Daddy playing on the violin

Jigs and reels

That he brought from Ireland

And I’m the first born in America, my friend

I have never been there

But someday I’ll take a trip

Across the ocean on a big long silver ship

Hear them sing those songs

I learned from Mama’s lips

I just close my eyes

And I can almost see

Those shamrock hills

And those forty shades of green

And the roots that tie me to a land

I’ve never known

Are calling me home

Are calling me home

Sun shines through my window

Here in Tennessee

God sure made this a pretty place to be

But sometimes

It just don’t feel like home to me

So I close my eyes

And I can almost see

Those shamrock hills

And those forty shades of green

And the roots that tie me

To a land I’ve never known

Are calling me home

Are calling me home

Are calling me home
