Erin's Green Shore
| Mick Moloney |

| One evening of late as I rambled On the banks of a clear purling stream I sat down on a bed of primroses And I gently fell into a dream I dreamed I beheld a fair female Her equal I had ne�er seen before As she sighed for the wrongs of her country As she strayed along Erin�s green shore. I went to her and quickly addressed her Fair maid, will you tell me your name? And why through this wild wooded country In the midst of these dangers you came? I�m a daughter of Daniel O�Connell And from England I have lately come o�er I have come to awaken my brethren Who slumber on Erin�s green shore. Her eyes were like two sparkling diamonds Or the stars of a bright frosty night Her cheeks were like two blooming roses And her teeth of the ivory so white She resembled the Goddess of Freedom And green was the mantle she wore Bound �round with the shamrock and roses As she strayed along Erin�s green shore In transports of joy I awoke then And found I had been in a dream For this beautiful damsel had fled me And I longed for to slumber again May the heavens above be her guardian For I know I shall see her no more May the sunbeams of glory shine o�er her As she strays along Erin�s green shore.
