VERSE 01: There’s a nook in sunny Ireland/By a little running stream,/Where the birds are singing happy all the day | |
/And ‘twas there my little sweetheart, Bonny blue-eyed, sweet Kathleen, Gave to me this bit o’ shamrock from old Ireland/Her voice was soft and tender as she spoke to me that day,/Her words to me I never can forget | |
/For she said:”I love you truly/And a token you will find,/In this little bunch of shamrock from old Ireland.”VERSE 02: There’s no spot in earths creation/Half so dear as Erin’s Isle,/There’s no colleen half so sweet as Kathleen dear | |
/And my heart is ever longing,/For the sunshine of her smile,/In that sunny little nook in dear old Ireland/There’s many a bonny flow’r I ween, and many a lass that’s fair,/And sunny nooks in ev’ry land and clime./But that true-born Irish laddie/Finds no blossom to compare/With his sweetheart and the shamrock of old Ireland.CHORUS: Dear little shamrock from the Em’rald Isle/In your dark leaves I see my sweetheart’s smile/Go to her, tell her:/As Heav’n’s above I will be faithful to the one I love./Dear little shamrock from Em’rald Isle/In your dark leaves I see my sweetheart’s smile (see my sweetheart’s smile)/Go to her tell her: As Heav’n’s above (above)/I will be faithful to the one I love (love one I love.) | |
