() emerald of the sea, From the () fishing boats at Dingle, To the ()-dea; I () miss the River Shannon, And the () folks at Skibbereen, The () moorlands and the meadows With their () green. Chorus: But () most of all I miss a girl in () Tipperary town. And () lips, As ()-down; () Again I want to see and do The () things we've done and seen, With the () breeze as sweet as shalamar, And there's () green. I wish that I could spend an hour At () Dublin's churning surf, I'd () love to watch the farmers drain The () turf; To () see again the thatches Of the () straw the women glean; I'd () walk from Cork to Laren to see The () green.
