There's a dear old land of leprechaunsAnd wondrous wishing wellsAnd nowhere else on God's green EarthThere be such lakes and dellsNo wonder that the angels loveThat shamrock covered shoreIt draws my heart home againAnd I love it more and moreHave you ever heard the story ofHow Ireland got its nameWell, I'll tell you so you'll understandFrom whence old Ireland cameNo wonder that I loveThat dear old land across the seaFor here's the way my dear old FatherTold the tale to meSure, a little bit of heaven fellFrom out the sky one dayAnd it nestled on the oceanIn a spot so far awayAnd when the angels found itSongtexteSure, it looked so sweet and fairThey said, "Suppose we leave itFor it looks so peaceful there"So they sprinkled it with stardustJust to make the shamrocks grow'Tis the only place you'll find themNo matter where you goThen they dotted it with silverTo make its lakes so grandAnd when they had it finishedSure, they called it Ireland!
