[00:08.42]It seems like only yesterday
[00:10.53]I sailed from out of Cork
[00:13.42]A wanderer from Erin's isle
[00:14.72]I landed in New York
[00:16.87]There wasn't a soul to greet me there
[00:18.71]A stranger on your shore
[00:20.64]But Irish luck was with me here
[00:22.82]And riches came galore
[00:24.71]And now that I'm going back again
[00:27.21]To dear old Erin's isle
[00:28.94]My friends will meet me on the pier
[00:30.80]And greet me with a smile
[00:32.90]Their faces sure I've almost forgot
[00:35.20]I've been so long away
[00:36.92]But me mother will introduce them all
[00:39.10]And this to me will say
[00:41.00]Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy
[00:43.00]And here is your sister Kate
[00:45.17]And there's the girl you used to swing
[00:47.21]Down by the garden gate
[00:49.18]Shake hands with all of the neighbours
[00:51.27]And kiss the colleens all
[00:53.27]You're as welcome as the flowers in May
[00:55.39]To dear old Donnegal
[00:56.28]They'll give a party when I go home
[00:58.99]They'll come from near and far
[01:00.25]They'll line the roads for miles and miles
[01:02.14]With Irish jauntin' cars
[01:03.06]The spirits'll flow and we'll be gay
[01:04.17]We'll fill your hearts with joy
[01:05.62]The piper'll play an Irish reel
[01:06.93]To greet the Yankee boy
[01:08.12]We'll dance and sing the whole night long
[01:09.65]Such fun as never seen
[01:11.12]The lads'll be decked in corduroy
[01:12.65]The colleens wearin' green
[01:13.60]There'll be thousands there that I never saw
[01:20.84]I've been so long away
[01:26.14]But me mother will introduce them all
[01:28.17]And this to me will say
[01:30.20]Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy
[01:32.75]And here is your sister Kate
[01:34.38]And there's the girl you used to swing
[01:36.61]Down by the garden gate
[01:38.00]Shake hands with all of the neighbors
[01:40.02]And kiss the colleens all
