The green grass av ovid Ireland!
Whilst be far away.
All fresh an clean an Jewel-green
It's CROWN there today.
Oh. it's cleaner. greener growin'-
All the grassy world around.
It's greener yet nor any grass
That grows on top O. ground.
The green grass av ovid Ireland.
Indade. an balm 't'u'd be
To eyes like mine that drip wild brine
As salty as the sea!
For still the more I'm stOppin' here
The more I'm sore to see
The glory av the green grass av ovid Ire
land.
Ten years ye've paid my airnin's-
I've the favin's on the shelf.
Though l be here widOut a queen,
An own meself meself.
I'm comm over steerage,
But I'm go!n' back firrst-class,
Patrolin' av the foremost deck
For first sight av the grass.
God bless yez free Ameriky!
love yez dock and shore!
KEN to yez In poverty
That's worstin' me no more.
But most I'm lovin' Erin yet,
Wild all her graves. dye see.
By reason av the green grass OF ovid Ire
land.
