1
It seems like only yesterday
2
I sailed from out of Cork
3
A wanderer from Erin's isle
4
I landed in New York
5
There wasn't a soul to greet me there
6
A stranger on your shore
7
But Irish luck was with me here
8
And riches came galore
9
And now that I'm going back again
10
To dear old Erin's isle
11
My friends will meet me on the pier
12
And greet me with a smile
13
Their faces, sure, I've almost forgot
14
I've been so long away
15
But me mother will introduce them all
16
And this to me will say
17
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
18
And here is your sister, Kate
19
And there's the girl you used to swing
20
Down by the garden gate
21
Shake hands with all of the neighbours
22
And kiss the colleens all
23
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
24
To dear old Donnegal
25
They'll give a party when I go home
26
They'll come from near and far
27
They'll line the roads for miles and miles
28
With Irish jauntin' cars
29
The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay
30
We'll fill your hearts with joy
31
The piper'll play an Irish reel
32
To greet the Yankee boy
33
We'll dance and sing the whole night long
34
Such fun as never seen
35
The lads'll be decked in corduroy
36
The colleens wearin' green
37
There'll be thousands there that I never saw
38
I've been so long away
39
But me mother will introduce them all
40
And this to me will say
41
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
42
And here is your sister, Kate
43
And there's the girl you used to swing
44
Down by the garden gate
45
Shake hands with all of the neighbours
46
And kiss the colleens all
47
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
48
To dear old Donnegal
