| Limerick, you're a lady Daniel O'donnell Limerick, you're a lady, Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow, The beauty that surrounds you, I take it with me love where ere I go, While waking in the arms of distant waters, A new day finds me far away from home, Then Limerick, you're my lady, The one true love that I have ever known.
As children you and I, spent endless days of fun, In winter snow or summers golden sun, We fished in silver springs, the fabric of my dreams, Was fashioned by your loveliness, and so I have to say, Limerick, you're a lady, Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow, The beauty that surrounds you, I take it with me love where ere I go, While waking in the arms of distant waters, A new day finds me far away from home, Then Limerick, you're my lady, The one true love that I have ever known. A gift that time has made, to travelers on their way, Seeking out the beauty of our land, A shrine where children pray, and bells ring out to say, Thank God we're living just to feel, the freedom of each day,
Limerick, you're a lady, Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow, The beauty that surrounds you, I take it with me love where ere I go, While waking in the arms of distant waters, A new day finds me far away from home, Then Limerick, you're my lady, The one true love that I have ever known. |
