[Verse 1]
It wasn't the ferry to Dublin
Arrival at last on your shore
It wasn't the shamrock awaiting
On each pint of Guinness you pour
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It was Oonagh and Anne in Kilkenny
It was Seamus and Patrick in Cork
It was Callum in Limerick, Aoefe in Galway
And the folk of this island, for sure
And the folk of this island, for sure...
[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland, oh, Ireland, no wonder my roots
Were never in briefcases, never in suits
Of New York or London, or Paris, no thanks
But down by the Blackwater Banks
[Verse 2]
And it wasn't the pride of East Belfast
With its red, white, and blue to the floor
It wasn't the calls from Divis to Falls
Of 'No, nay, never, no more'
It wasn't the ferry to Dublin
Arrival at last on your shore
It wasn't the shamrock awaiting
On each pint of Guinness you pour
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It was Oonagh and Anne in Kilkenny
It was Seamus and Patrick in Cork
It was Callum in Limerick, Aoefe in Galway
And the folk of this island, for sure
And the folk of this island, for sure...
[Chorus]
Oh, Ireland, oh, Ireland, no wonder my roots
Were never in briefcases, never in suits
Of New York or London, or Paris, no thanks
But down by the Blackwater Banks
[Verse 2]
And it wasn't the pride of East Belfast
With its red, white, and blue to the floor
It wasn't the calls from Divis to Falls
Of 'No, nay, never, no more'
