A little of this, a little of that; rants, raves, photos, doodlings and thinking out loud

Happy St. Patrick's Day! (I wish everyday could be St. Patrick's Day)

St. Patrick’s Day Everyday (1995)
A song by Irish Jones

Chorus:
Let’s all raise our glasses and thank the lord
For she granted us one grand wish
One time each year, for just one day
We can set all our troubles aside
And be Irish!

Verses:
Well I’ve never been to Cork
Never set foot on Kilkenny
But I know what a paradise Ireland can be
I’ve read all the histories
And heard my Grandma’s stories
Of the people and culture of lovely Ireland

I often dream of leaving here
And flying to mother Ireland
The place of my ancestors’ birth
I’ll open a little tavern
Or work on a fishing boat
And leave all my troubles behind

With the rolling green countryside
And the quaint little villages
All is not paradise in lovely Ireland
Brother fights his brother
Widows weep for the senseless loss
Praying Ireland will soon be whole again

I wish everyday could be that holiday
Where people could smile and wear the green
And sing along to songs about Ireland
Every voice in harmony
Brothers and sisters sing as one
I Wish everyday could be St.Patrick’s day
