Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
\nThen maybe at the closing of your day,
\nYou will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh,
\nAnd see the sun go down on Galway Bay.<\/p>\n

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream
\nAnd the women in the meadows making hay,
\nTo sit beside the turf fire in the cabin
\nAnd watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.<\/p>\n

For the breezes blowin’ o’er the sea from Ireland
\nAre perfumed by the heather as they blow
\nAnd the women in the upland diggin’ parties
\nSpeak a language that the strangers do not know.<\/p>\n

For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way.
\nThey scorned us just for bein’ what we are.
\nBut they might as well go chasin’ after moon beams
\nOr light a penny candle from a star.<\/p>\n

And if there’s to be a life hereafter,
\nAnd somehow I’m sure there’s going to be,
\nI will ask my God to let me make my heaven,
\nIn that dear land across the Irish sea.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
