It's a Great Day for the Irish (2005 Remaster) - Ruby Murray
Oh I woke me up this morning
And I heard a joyful song
From the throats of happy Irishmen
A hundred thousand strong
Shure it was the Hibernian Brigade
Lining up for to start the big parade
So I fetched me Sunday bonnet and the flag I love so well
And I bought meself a shamrock just to wear in me lapel
Don't you know that today's March seventeen
It's the day for the wearing of the green
It's a great day for the Irish it's a great day for fair
The sidewalks of New York are thick with Blarney
For shure you'd think New York was Old Killarney
It's a great day for the Shamrock for the flags in full array
We're feeling so inspirish shure because for all the Irish
It's a great great day
Begosh there's not a cop to stop a raiding
Begorrah all the cops are out parading
It's a great day for the Shamrock for the flags in full array
And as we go a swinging every Irish heart is singing
It's a great great day
