It's A Great Day For The Irish

It's A Great Day For The Irish - Gloria Furey

Oh I woke me up this morning

And I heard a joyful song

From the throats of left Irishmen

A hundred thousand strong

Sure it was the Hibernian Brigade

Lining up for to start the big parade

So I fetched me Sunday bonnet

And flag I love so well

And I bought myself a shamrock

Just to wear in my lapelle

Don't you know that today's March 17

It's the day for the wearing of the green

It's a Great Day for the Irish

It's a great day for fair

The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney

For sure you'd think New York was old Killarney

It's a great day for the shamrock

For the flag's in full array

We're feeling so inspirish

Sure because of all the Irish

It's a great great day

Oh I woke me up this morning

And I heard a joyful song

From the throats of left Irishmen

A hundred thousand strong

Sure it was the Hibernian Brigade

Lining up for to start the big parade

So I fetched me Sunday bonnet

And flag I love so well

And I bought myself a shamrock

Just to wear in me lapelle

Don't you know that today's March 17

It's the day for the wearing of the green

It's a Great Day for the Irish

It's a great day for fair

The sidewalks of New York are thick with blarney

For sure you'd think New York was old Killarney

It's a great day for the shamrock

For the flag's in full array

We're feeling so inspirish

Sure because of all the Irish

It's a great great day

We're feeling so inspirish

Sure because of all the Irish

It's a great great day
