Erin Gra Mo Chroi

Erin Grá Mo Chroí (Ireland of My Heart) In the evening sun When my daily work was done I rambled to the seashore for a walk And i being all alone I sat down upon this stone For to gaze upon the seas of New York (Chorus) Oh then erin grá mo chroí You're the only one for me You're the fairest that my eyes did e'er behold You're the bright star of the west The land Saint Patrick blessed You're the dear little isle so far away 'Twas on a cold cold winter's night With the turf fire burning bright And the snowflakes falling on a winter day And i being all alone I sat down on my own In the dear little isle so far away (Chorus) The day that i did part Sure it broke my mother's heart Will i ever see my dear folks anymore? Not until my bones are laid In the cold and silent grave In the dear little isle so far away (Chorus)
