A sliver of blue ignites light in the sky... while the birds awaken to a joyous sunrise... the land needs tending and I'm just that guy...but first a cup of coffee and some leftover pie, ...The air is crisp and the tools are sharp ... I'll tend to my flock before the weather turns dark ... a gleeful tune I may play on my pipes... the pride of my toil brings a tear to my eye, [Chours]Oh the weather be hazy or rainy but still, I'll spend long hours in the field on me till, my lady is cleaning and baking away, for some hearty good vittles await the end of me day, this land I love and proudly I roam, oh sweet Ireland my own green lushes home. I have a boat in the neighboring sea... a shanty is sung a guitar on my knee,...a beer in hand and the wind pushes me, ..near the emerald Isle I'll sail and feel free, When the weather turns foul Ill bring her about...this old wooden boat is sturdy and stout... at a cruising speed of about seven knots... should make it back home before the gust and the chop. [Chours]Oh the weather be hazy or rainy but still, I'll spend long hours in the field on me till, my lady is cleaning and baking away, for some hearty good vittles await the end of me day, this land I love and proudly I roam, oh sweet Ireland my own green lushes home. The pub awaits me and my wife for a night.. of laughter good fun some friends and a pint, ...the stars are all shining like a glint on a knife, ..My heart is still beating with the love in my life. tomorrow will come but we still have tonight... the things that we'll do in the absence of light... I will kiss you and hug you till you feel safe and tight..., I may not be a king but I will be your knight. [Chours]Oh the weather be hazy or rainy but still, I'll spend long hours in the field on me till, my lady is cleaning and baking away, for some hearty good vittles await the end of me day, this land I love and proudly I roam, oh sweet Ireland my own green lushes home.
