It's a long long way to Tipperary
But here in new york city that can get you down
Neon lights to the lonesome plains and prairies
I thought far away from home was London town
And I'm believing in this feeling. I've a long long way to go
And I see that old Kentucky moon Shine down on Aherlow
And this feeling that I'm feeling It wont last I'm glad to know.
For I'm flying home from here when I go
A long long time ago from Queens town harbour
Young Irish folks sailed to America
7 days to cross the raging water.
7 more to reach that Frisco Bay;
And I'm believing in this feeling. I've a long long way to go
And I see that old Kentucky moon Shine down on Aherlow
And this feeling that I'm feeling It wont last I'm glad to know.
For I'm flying home from here when I go
Silver bird flying high across the ocean
don't leave me take me with you when you go
Staying here I no longer have the notion
Take me back to the glen of Aherlow.
