Karaoké My Heart Is in Ireland The Wolfe Tones

In the East End of London

I met an old man

He kept a bar called The Horses and Tram

My parents were Irish

They loved that dear land

The cockney, he smiled and he shook my old hand

My heart is in Ireland

It's there I long to be

Her hills and her valleys are calling to me

Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland

The land of the old folk is calling to me

Near a coal mine in Wales by a roadside café

A young girl came smiling and to me did say

Well, my folks are from Ireland

Me dad, he hopes one day when he leaves the mines sure we'll go back to stay

My heart is in Ireland

It's there I long to be

Her hills and her valleys are calling to me

Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland

The land of the old folk is calling to me

Then I went through the Midlands through each city and town

I found there were Irish in each place I roamed

And I drank and I sang in a pub they call The Crown

With the Birmingham Irish we sang songs of home

My heart is in Ireland

It's there I long to be

Her hills and her valleys are calling to me

Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland

The land of the old folk is calling to me

Then I went north to Scotland to Glasgow on the Clyde

I met with some young lads said, Celtic's our side

All our folks are from Ireland the island of the green

A country we love but a place we've not seen

My heart is in Ireland

It's there I long to be

Her hills and her valleys are calling to me

Though born here in this land my heart is in Ireland

The land of the old folk is calling to me
