My faithful friends It's been so long Since I sailed away From my own native home But Ireland's always been Here on my mind And o what I'd give Just to be there one more time. I'll always have an Irish heart No matter where I go I know where I came here from My homeland and I. Will never be far apart For I'll always have an Irish heart. My faithful friends My time has come To leave this world And to enter god's home I pray he'll fly me high He'll understand I need to say goodbye To my Ireland I'll always have an Irish heart No matter where I go I know where I came here from My homeland and I. Will never be far apart For I'll always have an Irish heart.
