It Is A Great Day For The Irish (2005 Digital Remaster) - Ruby Murray

作曲：Roger Edens

Oh I woke me up this morning

And I heard a joyful song

From the throats of happy Irishmen

A hundred thousand strong

Shure it was the Hibernian Brigade

Lining up for to start the big parade

So I fetched me Sunday bonnet

and the flag I love so well

And I bought myself a shamrock

just to wear in me lapel

Don't you know that

today's March seventeen

It's the day for the wearing of the green

It's a great day for the Irish

it's a great day for fair

The sidewalks of New York

are thick with Blarney

For shure you'd think New York

was Old Killarney

It's a great day for the Shamrock

for the flags in full array

We're feeling so inspirish shure

because for all the Irish

It's a great great day

Begosh there's not a cop to stop a raiding

Begorrah all the cops are out parading

It's a great day for the Shamrock

for the flags in full array

And as we go a swinging

every Irish heart is singing

It's a great great day
