Irish Medley

Track No. 5

When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, it's like a morn in spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away

I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen
I'll take you home again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my bonnie bride
The roses all have left your cheek
I've watched them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when you speak
And tears bedim your loving eyes

Oh! I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I'II take you to your home again

The Minstrel Boy
The minstrel boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death you will find him
His father's sword he hath girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him

The land of song, said the warrior bard
Tho' all the world betrays thee
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard
One faithful harp shall praise thee
One faithful harp shall praise thee

She Moved Through the Fair
My young love said to me
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind
And she stepped away from me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day

Last night she came to me
She came softly in
So softly she came
That her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me
And this she did say
It will not be long, love
Till our wedding day
Till our wedding day

Danny Boy
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine, or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
(Come to me)
