CHEERS TO OL' IRELAND
Music & Lyrics by Pat Flanakin

CHORUS Fill your cup and pick it up
High into the air
Water, whiskey, wine or beer
Whatever I don't care
Off your duff and on your feet
To raise a glass with me
Cheers to Ol' Ireland
A toast to you from me

Mine eyes are growin' teary
For a meadow o'er there
I live in America
With concrete ev'rywhere
Your hills of green I've never seen
But someday soon you see
I'll be in ol' Ireland
An Irishman is me
So -

CHORUS

Mine heart is growin' weary
For a colleen o'er there
The ladies in America
Are sweet but don't compare
A pot of gold beneath the old
Rainbow waits for me
Back in Ireland
That's where I want to be
So -

CHORUS

Cheers to ol' Ireland
A toast to you from me
