Come Back To Erin Mavourneen Tar Ar Ais Go hÉirinn, Mo Mhuirnín Come Back To Ireland My Darling
Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen.(my darling)
Come back, aroon (my love), to the land of thy birth,
Come with the shamrocks and spring-time, mavourneen,
And it's Killarney shall ring with our mirth. Sure, when we lent
you to beautiful England ,
Little we thought of the lone winter days,
Little we thought of the hush of the star shine
Over the mountains, the bluffs and the braes!
Chorus.—
Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen,
Come back again to the land of thy birth,
Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen,
And it's Killarney shall ring with our mirth.
Over the green sea, mavourneen, mavourneen.
Long shone the white sail that bore thee away,
Riding the white waves, that fair summer mornln',
Just like a mayflower afloat on the bay.
Oh! but my heart sank when clouds came between us,
Like a gray curtain the rain falling down,
Hid from my sad eyes the path o'er the ocean
Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen,
Come back again to the land of thy birth,
Come back to Erin, mavourneen, mavourneen,
And it's Killarney shall ring with our mirth.
