Irish Folksongs An Irishmans Dream Lyrics

An Irishmans Dream Lyrics

Sure I've roamed this wide world over

But of all the lands I've seen

There's no spot I'd rather dwell in

Than my little isle of Green



Only last night I was dreamin'

Of a sight that thrilled me
through

But what I saw I'll see no more

'twas too good to be
true



Sure the shamrocks were growing on Broadway

Every girl
was an Irish colleen

The town of New York was the county of Cork

All the buildings were painted green



Sure the Hudson looked
just like the Shannon

Oh, how good and how real it did seem

I could
hear me mother singin', sweet Shannon bells ringin'

'twas only an
Irishman's dream
