Emerald Jewel
Oh, graceful land I've never seen
Your gentle hills of rolling green
Oh, lovely land before me spread
Those cobbled paths I long to tread.
Your peaceful pastures so serene
I yearn to see that tranquil scene
Your dew-kist meadows clover fills
Your sandstone castles...my heart stills.
And on my mind will ever be
Your rising cliffs, your misty shore
Oh, Emerald Isle on the sea
You'll call to me forevermore.
Oh, charming land of leprechauns,
The 'pot-O-gold', the Blarney Stone
Oh, Isle of green, my heart you own
At end of day and when it dawns.
Oh, graceful land I've never seen
Your cobbled paths I long to tread
Oh, lovely land, before me spread
Those gentle hills of rolling green.
Oh, Emerald Isle on the sea
Yes, even still, you call to me
Oh, Emerald jewel of the sea
Yes, even still, you beckon me.
