It's A Great Day For The Irish Lyrics
Oh I woke me up this morning and I heard a joyful song
From the throats of happy 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 the flag I love so well
And I bought meself a shamrock just to wear in me lapel
Don apos
T you know that today apos
S March seventeen
It apos
S the day for the wearing of the green
It apos
S a great day for the irish it apos
S a great day for fair
The side walks of new york are thick with blarney
For shure you apos
D think new york was old killarney
It apos
S a great day for the shamrock for the flags in full array

Re feeling so inspirish shure because for all the irish
It apos
S a great great day
Begosh and begorragh every irish son and daughter
Every good old irish name and their relation
They come from tipperary donegal and county kerry
They are all here to join the celebration

And as we go a swinging every irish heart is singing
