The first thing I remember When we docked into the harbour Was the way her arm looked so tender, and so long, so strong Here we were so wounded, troubled, tired and soon would Grace the gates of liberty, needin' a job I wish I was in Ireland I wish I was back home again In the land of my kin I wish I was in Ireland As a boy with auburn hair I sat in daddy's rocking chair And listened to the pipes calling me, from a distant' glen Whisperin' And mother who was watching me Knew I'd need and soon would be Walking out the front door, looking for much more I wish I was in Ireland I wish I was back home again In the land of my kin I wish I was in Ireland On the crowded Avenue Feeling lost among the new Makes a heart long for the old things we left, so long ago Greener fields would never seem To replace our Emerald green Life can be changing scene There's only one home I wish I was in Ireland I wish I was back home again In the land of my kin I wish I was in Ireland
