Testo Dear Old Donegal - Bing Crosby
Testo della canzone Dear Old Donegal (Bing Crosby), tratta dall'album Celebrate The Irish
Three years ago this very day
I left the port of Cork
And on a ship from old Erin's Isle
I landed in New York
Without a friend to meet me there
And a stranger on the shore
But I wore an honest Irish heart
And fortune came galore
So here I am back again
On dear old Erin's Isle
And the friends they meet me on the quay
And they greet me with a smile
For there's faces there that I surely forgot
For I was so long away
But me mother she introduces all
And this is what she say
Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy
Shake hands with your sister Kate
Children this is the girl you used to swing
Down on the garden gate
Shake hands with all the neighbors
And kiss the collings all
You're as welcome as the flowers in May
To dear old Donegal
Well they gave me a party when I came back
And they came from near and far
And the road was lined for near a mile
With Irish jot and cars
And the whiskey flowed like buttermilk
To fill our hearts with joy
And the piper played an Irish reel
To greet the Yankee boy
So tomorrow out to church I'll go
And wedded I'll be
To my pretty little colleen
Sweet Biddy McGee
For Biddy was true and faithful
To her Barney o'er the sea
And we'll join the harps and shamrocks
To the stars of liberty
There came Brannigan, Flannigan
Milligan, Gilligan
Duffy, McGuffy, Malarkey, Mahone
Rafferty, Lafferty
Donnelly, Connolly
Dooley, O'Hooley
Muldowney, Malone
Colonna, O'Honna
Lanahan, Flannahan
Fagan, O'Hagan
O'Houlihan, Flynn
Shanahan, Manahan
Fogarty, Hogarty
Kelly, O'Skelly
McGinnis, McGinn
Oh, Pat O'Brien was late, Valteen
Then I'll shake the hand of me Uncle Mike
And the hand of me sister Kate
And I'll hug and I'll squeeze as much as I please
The girl on the garden gate
Then I'll invite all the neighbors
To my wedding great and small
And I'll live content and pay no rent
In dear old Donegal
