Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
An Irish Country Home 
In an Irish country home, One evening long ago Sat an old man and his little daughter Nell Said the girl with Irish glee, as she played upon his knee You promised me a story you would tell 
"Come tell me of the past. Of my mother dear." she asked Come tell me how she used to look she cried Answering Nell the old man said, as he slowly bent his head Tears were in his eyes, he then replied 
She was sweeter than the blossoms on the clover She was fairer than the evening sunset glow But I never will forget how much I loved her When your mother took my name long long ago We were married she and I, and in every way we tried To make our house a home of happiness 'Til a bright septembers morn, on the day that you were born God took her to a brighter home above 
Chorus In an Irish country home, one evening long ago Sat an old man and his little daughter Nell Though the best of friends must part She was dearer to my heart For your mother was the only one I love For your mother was the only one I love
