breez - es blow - ing o'er the seas from Ire - land, are

may - be at the clos - ing of the day, you will

per - fumed by the heath - er as they blow, and the

sit and watch the moonrise ov - er Clad - dagh, and

wo - men in the up - lands dig - gi'n pra - ties speak a

see the sun go down on Gall - way Bay. Just to

lan - guage that the strang - ers do not know. for the

hear a - gain the rip - ple of the trout stream, the

strang - ers came and tried to teach us their way, they

wo - men in the mea - dows mak - ing hay, and to

scorned us just for be - ing what we are, but they

sit be - side a turf - fire in the ca - bin, and

might as well go chas - ing af - ter moon-beams, or

watch the barefoot Gos - soons at their play. For the

light a penny can - dle from a star and if

there is go - ing to be a life here - af - ter, and

some - how I am sure there's go - ing to be, I will

ask my God to let me make my hea - ven, in

that dear land a - cross the I - rish sea..........................
