Stone Outside Dan Murphy’S Door (The Very Best of Country & Irish)
There's a sweet gar-den spot in our mem-‘ry It's the place we were born in and reared ‘Tis long years a-go since we left it But re-turn there we will if we're spared Our friends and com-pan-ions of child-hood Would as-sem-ble each night near the store Round Dan Murphy's shop oh how oft-en we've sat On the stone that stood out-side his door
Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor And the songs that were sung in the days we were young On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door
When our day's work was o-ver we'd meet there In the win-ter or spring the same The boys and the girls all to-geth-er Would join in some in-no-cent game Dan Mur-phy would bring down his fid-dle While his daugh-ters looked af-ter the store The mu-sic would ring and sweet songs we would sing On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door
Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor And the songs that were sung in the days we were young On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door

Back a-gain will our thoughts oft-en wan-der To the scenes of our child-hood's home The friends and com-pan-ions we left there It was pov-er-ty caused us to roam Since then in this life we have pros-pered But now still in our hearts we feel sure For mem-‘ries will fly to the days gone by And the stone out-side Dan Murphy's door
Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor And the songs that were sung in the days we were young On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door...
