The Donevans - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE DONEVANS. As sung by Harrigan and Hart. 
We came from dear old Ireland, We're strangers in this land; We know that all Americans Put forth their welcome hand, To the poor of suffering Ireland, Time and time again; We thank you for our countrymen, And Donevan is our name. 
Chorus. We're the Donevans, We're the Donevans From the Emerald Isle, Across the Sea; We're the Donevans From a noble family. 
Our ancestors were noble; In the days of King O'Neal They fought for Erin's freedom, In a suit of silver mail! Its royal blood flows in our veins, We're proud of that self-same-We introduce ourselves to you-Donevan is our name.-Chorus. 
Oh, Erin! lovely Erin! Bright diamond of the sea, We always sing your praises Wherever we may be; From the lovely banks of Shannon To America we came-To look around and settle down-And Donevan is our name. - Chorus.
