My Killarney Colleen

If I should ever stray from home To roam the seven seas Away from the green fields, purple mountains and Dingle Bay I will always remember my Killarney Colleen Whose dark hair and laughing eyes Are the most beautiful you’ve ever seen And if in some foreign port Someone should speak to me Of my Erin home far across the sea I will tell them what I’ve told no other man All about my lovely Killarney Colleen I will tell of this pretty girl Who waits down by Dingle Bay Of the candle she lights every night In her window that faces the sea Hoping that her wandering man Will find a star to guide him Back to their home to stay I am no Irish rover No seven seas will I see I have no reason to wander My home has everything I need I may not be a rich man For wealth is not what I need Just the love of my Killarney Colleen
