 It seems like only yesterday<br />
 I sailed from out of Cork.<br />
 A wanderer from Erin`s isle,<br />
 I landed in New York.<br />
 There wasn`t a soul to greet me there,<br />
 A stranger on your shore,<br />
 But Irish luck was with me here,<br />
 And riches came galore.<br />
 And now that I`m going back again<br />
 To dear old Erin`s isle,<br />
 My friends will meet me on the pier<br />
 And greet me with a smile.<br />
 Their faces, sure, I`ve almost forgot,<br />
 I`ve been so long away,<br />
 But me mother will introduce them all<br />
 And this to me will say:<br />
 <br />
 chorus:<br />
 Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy,<br />
 And here is your sister, Kate.<br />
 And there`s the girl you used to swing<br />
 Down by the garden gate.<br />
 Shake hands with all of the neighbours,<br />
 And kiss the colleens all;<br />
 You`re as welcome as the flowers in May<br />
 To dear old Donnegal.<br />
 <br />
 They`ll give a party when I go home,<br />
 They`ll come from near and far.<br />
 They`ll line the roads for miles and miles<br />
 With Irish jauntin` cars.<br />
 The spirits`ll flow and we`ll be gay,<br />
 We`ll fill your hearts with joy.<br />
 The piper`ll play an Irish reel<br />
 To greet the Yankee boy.<br />
 We`ll dance and sing the whole night long,<br />
 Such fun as never seen.<br />
 The lads`ll be decked in corduroy,<br />
 The colleens wearin` green.<br />
 There`ll be thousands there that I never saw,<br />
 I`ve been so long away,<br />
 But me mother will introduce them all<br />
 And this to me will say:<br />

(aka Back to Donegal)

It seems like only yesterday
I sailed from out of Cork.
A wanderer from Erin`s isle,
I landed in New York.
There wasn`t a soul to greet me there,
A stranger on your shore,
But Irish luck was with me here,
And riches came galore.
And now that I`m going back again
To dear old Erin`s isle,
My friends will meet me on the pier
And greet me with a smile.
Their faces, sure, I`ve almost forgot,
I`ve been so long away,
But me mother will introduce them all
And this to me will say:

chorus:
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy,
And here is your sister, Kate.
And there`s the girl you used to swing
Down by the garden gate.
Shake hands with all of the neighbours,
And kiss the colleens all;
You`re as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donnegal.

They`ll give a party when I go home,
They`ll come from near and far.
They`ll line the roads for miles and miles
With Irish jauntin` cars.
The spirits`ll flow and we`ll be gay,
We`ll fill your hearts with joy.
The piper`ll play an Irish reel
To greet the Yankee boy.
We`ll dance and sing the whole night long,
Such fun as never seen.
The lads`ll be decked in corduroy,
The colleens wearin` green.
There`ll be thousands there that I never saw,
I`ve been so long away,
But me mother will introduce them all
And this to me will say:

(chorus)

Meet Branigan, Fannigan, Milligan, Gilligan,
Duffy, McCuffy, Malachy, Mahone,
Rafferty, Lafferty, Donnelly, Connelly,
Dooley, O`Hooley, Muldowney, Malone,
Madigan, Cadigan, Lanihan, Flanihan,
Fagan, O`Hagan, O`Hoolihan, Flynn,
Shanihan, Manihan, Fogarty, Hogarty,
Kelly, O`Kelly, McGuinness, McGuinn.
