There's a moon over Ireland, comes in from the sea Cross the mountains and valleys where the rivers run free From the days of my childhood, oh I've always known There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home Go down the one road from Cork to Killarney And follow it on to Tralee And you won't be tongue tight when you kiss the Blaney There's no fairer place you can be I love you Galway, Limerick and Errill Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo, Cooraclare They say it's a long, long way to Tipperary But that doesn't matter to me I miss the shadow, the hills of Roscommon The Greenfields in my memory And I want to tell all my friends and my family In Donegal, I'm coming home I love you Galway, Limerick and Errill Sligo and Monaghan, Mayo, Cooraclare They say it's a long, long way to Tipperary But that doesn't matter to me There's a moon over Ireland, comes in from the sea Cross the mountains and valleys where the rivers run free From the days of my childhood, oh I've always known There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home There's a moon over Ireland that shines on my home
