Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Dear Old Donegal 
CHORUS Shake hands with your Uncle Mike me boy and kiss your sister Kate and her's the girl you used to swing down on the garden gate shake hands with all the neighbors and kiss the colleens all you're as welcome as the flowers of Spring in Dear Old Donegal 
It seems like only yesterday I sailed from out of Cork a wanderer from Erin's Isle I landed in new York There wasn't a soul to greet me there, a stranger on your shore but Irish luck was with me there and riches came galore and now I'm going back again to dear old Erin's Isle my friends will greet me on the pier and meet me with a smile There faces sure I've almost forgot, I've been so long away my mother will introduce them all and this to me she'll say. 
CHORUS 
Oh, there'll be a party when I come home they'll come from near and far they'll line the roads for miles and miles in Irish jaunting cars The spirits will flow and we'll be gay and fill your heart with joy The piper will play an Irish reel to greet the Yankee boy We'll dance and sing the night away a sight you've never seen The lads all decked in corduroy the colleens wearing green there'll be thousands there I've never seen I've been so long away, my mother will introduce them all and this to me she'll say. 
CHORUS
