An American landed on Erin's green isle |
|
He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile |
|
"How can I buy it?", he said to his guide |
|
"I'll tell you how", with a smile he replied |
|
How can you buy all the stars in the skies? |
|
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes? |
|
How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs? |
|
How can you buy Killarney? |
|
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile |
|
The emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney |
|
When you can buy all these wonderful things |
|
Then you can buy Killarney |
|
Such a wonderful landscape you never have seen |
|
A jewel so rare 'twould befit any queen |
|
Pride of old Erin, a joy to behold |
|
Heaven on earth, far more precious than gold |
|
How can you buy all the stars in the skies? |
|
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes? |
|
How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs? |
|
How can you buy Killarney? |
|
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile |
|
The emerald, the shamrock and the Blarney |
|
When you can buy all these wonderful things |
|
Then you can buy Killarney |
|
Then you can buy Killarney |
