If you ever go across the sea to 
IrelandThen maybe at the closing of your day
You will sit and watch the moon rise over 
CladdaghAnd watch the barefoot gossoons at their play
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
The women in the meadows making hay
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
And see the sun go down on 
Galway Bay
For the breezes blowing over the seas from 
IrelandAre perfumed by the heather as they blow
And the women in the uplands diggin' prates
Speak a language that the strangers do not know
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way
They scorned us just for being what we are
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
Or light a penny candle from a star
And if there is going to be a life hereafter
And if I am sure there's going to be
I will ask my 
God to let me make my heaven
In that dear land across the 
Irish sea
