I’ll Always Be Irlsh Walt Disney Records (Ft. Fred MacMurray, Lesley Ann Warren & Tommy Steele)

[JOHN LAWLESS]
On the night before I sailed away, they come from far and near
All me friends and all me kin, to shed a parting tear
We knew we'd never meet again, and yet 'twas clear to see
I'd always be a part of them and them a part of me

I'll always be Irish
'cause that's how I began
I'll always be Irish
I'll say that to any man
And when I'm an American
I'll be a good one too
I'll be truly as American as Irish stew

[CORDY and MR. BIDDLE]
He'll be truly as American as Irish stew

[JOHN LAWLESS]
(spoken)
Ask for Irish stew in Ireland and see what you'll get. In Ireland, all the stew is Irish!

(sung)
I'll always be Irish
A fact I'll not deny
I'll always be Irish
And I'll hold me head up high
I'll wear the green, St. Patty's Day
And yet for all of that
I'll be truly as American as Casey At The Bat
