| Drinking all the day, in old pubs where fiddlers love to play. |
| Saw one touch the bow, he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay. |
| Stood on dingle beach and cast, in white foam we found Atlantic bass |

| Talking all the day, with true friends who tried to make you stay. |
| Telling jokes and the news, singing songs to while the time away. |
| Watch the Galway salmon run, like silver, darting, dancing in the sun. |
| (Repeat chorus) |
| (Verse 4) |
| Dreaming in the night, I saw a land where noone had to fight. |
| Walking in your dawn, I saw you crying in the morning light. |
| Sleeping where the falcons fly, they twist and turn all in your Eire (air) blue sky. |
