The Cliffs Of Moher The Wolfe Tones

Oh, I met her on the cliffs of Moher
A lovely girl in a lovely land
She said she came from Philadelphia
A city in a far-off land
She always wanted to see Ireland
A place she calls her ancestral home
Her people came from Tipperary
From Cork, from Belfast and Tyrone

[Chorus]
A land of beauty and of mystery
This ancient land that I love
A land of history and tragedy
This is the land I love
Land of beauty and tranquility
Of our music and our song
A land of mystery and history
This is the land I love

Ireland!

So I brought her round the Ring of Kerry
Killarney's lakes and Cashel's halls
Through lofty hills and pleasant valleys
She found a land that was her own
In the Georgian streets of Dublin city
Love blossomed like a summer's rose
Then to Tara's hill of ancient legend
And Newgrange at the evening's close
