Emerald Isle

Like the lone last snake lost from his home
 Sure I was present, not certain if I'm gone
 I've never been one to live with any flair
 Just an Irish goodbye like I was never really there
 Between the hawthorn and the holly
 There's fairies on the mound
 We'll ride the kelpie, sing with the banshee
 And buy the Dullahan a round
 With shamrocked shillelagh and the holy trinity
 And the smooth, sharp soul of some Irish whiskey
 Sean-nós singalong, keep my friends guessing
 We'll part ways with an Irish blessing
 Between the hawthorn and the holly
 There's fairies on the mound
 We'll ride the kelpie, sing with the banshee
 And buy the Dullahan a round
 The road rises to meet us
 The wind is at our backs
 We rest on the Irish luck
 With Irish miles left to trek
 Like Claddagh hands, heart, and crown
 Friendship, loyalty, and love abound
 When I pass, throw me an Irish wake
 No tears, please, memories to celebrate
 Between the hawthorn and the holly
 There's fairies on the mound
 We'll ride the kelpie, sing with the banshee
 And buy the Dullahan a round
 The road rises to meet us
 The wind is at our backs
 We rest on the Irish luck
 With Irish miles left to trek
 With Irish miles left to trek
 Between the hawthorn and the holly
 There's fairies on the mound
