Érin Grá Mo Chroí lyrics

In the evening sun when my daily work was done I rambled to the seashore for a walk And I been all alone, I sat down upon a stone For to gaze on the scenes of New York Chorus: Oh then, Érin 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 St. 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 fallen on a winter's day And I been 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)
