Irish Jaunting Car

An alternate version of the "Irish Jaunting Car" tune.

Leo Mccaffrey - My Irish Jaunting Car lyrics
I am an Irish carman,
Ould Ireland is my home;
There's not a spot on all the earth
From here (in which) I wish to roam.
Now I like to treat the strangers
As I drive them near and far;
To the sights and scenes of Ould Ireland
On my Irish Jaunting car.

Chorus:
For driving on my jaunting car
From Roscommon to Kildare,
From Dublin down to Castle Bar
And from that to County Clare.
From Cork to Lim'rick and Athlone
Then home by Mullingar,
You can view the lakes of Killarney,
From my Irish Jaunting Car.

Some people now for a change of air,
Go far across the main;
To view the sights and scenery
Of Italy and Spain.
But if nature only could command,
They wouldn't go so far;
But would come and have a jaunt with me,
On my Irish Jaunting car.
CHORUS

Ould Ireland now for scenery
Commands the poet's pen;
Sure Ireland on the battlefield
Produces the best of men.
And on the field, humanity
Is Ould Ireland's guiding star;
Now, come and have a jaunt with me,
On my Irish Jaunting car.
CHORUS
