Karaoké Irish Eyes Rose Betts

My mother says

I have irish eyes

Irish eyes, irish eyes

My mother says

I have irish eyes

They go ever so blue under stormy skies

But they're never so blue as when I let them cry

My father says

I have English hair

English hair, English hair

Brown like the bark of an oak somewhere

Like the bed of a lake where the hemlock grows

Like the thorn in the stem of an English rose

I'm a map of the world and the ones before

One foot in sea and one on shore

Every step

Every hope flung high

I'm a map of them all with my irish eyes

My nana says

I have travellin' feet

Travellin' feet, travellin' feet

Slippers for princesses don't fit me but I dance to my own drum bright and bold

And my travellin' feet always get me home

My sister says

I've a restless soul

Restless soul, restless soul

Easy to catch but I'm hard to hold

Like a song on the wind that you caught one day

I get under your skin then I slip away

I'm a map of the world and the ones before

One foot in sea and one on shore

Every step

Every hope flung high

I'm a map of them all with my irish eyes

My mother says

I have irish eyes

Irish eyes, irish eyes

My mother says

I have irish eyes

They go ever so blue

'Cos I'm a map of the world and the ones before

One foot in sea and one on shore

Every step

Every hope flung high

I'm a map of them all with my irish eyes
