I'd like to see old Ireland once again before I die
40 shades of green a shinin' under a Celtic sky
Have a pint in Durty Nelly's and a prayer to old St. Pat
Oh I'd like to see old Ireland, I'd want no more than that

I first stepped on the Emerald Isle when I was just a lad
The first time away from home, I missed me mom and dad
From Limerick to Dublin town... I made my way by train
I love the Irish countryside, the beauty was insane

Oh I'd like to see old Ireland once again before I pass
Drive around the ring of Kerry with a red haired Irish lass
Drink a pint a stout in the Laurel's Pub and a prayer to old St. Pat
Oh I'd like to see old Ireland, I'd want no more than that

A rugby game at Landsdown Road, hurling' in Kilkenny
Killmainham jail, a sadder site, the likes you'll never see
To sit under the summer sun in St Stevens Green
Or chat awhile with the friendly folks down in Skibbereen

Oh I'd like to see old Ireland once again before I go
Sing an Irish song in an Irish pub a rousing night you know
Drink a pint a stout in the Temple Bar and a prayer to old St. Pat
Oh I'd like to see old Ireland, I'd want no more than that

From Cork to Larne and Derry from Dublin to Galway Bay
I love the Irish people their friendliness their way
To see again old Ireland, the Emerald of the Sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle to the shores of Donaghadea

I'd like to see old Ireland once again before I'm gone
My guitar upon my lap, a singin a rebel song
Have a pint in every Irish pub, St Patrick pray for me
Oh I'd like to see old Ireland, that's what I'd want for me
Yes I'd like to see old Ireland, that's what I'd want for me
