Have you ever sailed loch Neagh with all it's splendour Or walk the glens of Antrim for a day Have you seen the morning lanterns reaching skywards Or watch the sun go down o'er Galway bay.
Have you ever wandered round the ring of Kerry And did you ever kiss the Blarney stone All these great places that I speak of Are in this country I call home.
Chorus Yes it lies out on the western seaboard And if you're passing please make sure to call Then you'll understand me when I tell you Why I love Ireland best of all.
Instrumental
Have you ever fished the mighty river Shannon Or stroll to Dublin city for a while Or wander through the hills of old Shierconnell Where the people all greet you with the smile.
You'll travel on out west to county Mayo Or visit Badlygile of Inishfree So if you spend a few days here in this great country Then you'll understand what Ireland means to me.
