pan american irish girl

some men sing of pirate gold

some men sing of freedom

others claim to know the truth

and others still believe 'em

i have heard the band of hope

i joined in the chorus

i have looked straight through the past

found out where the fore is

now some would sing to change the world

some to change a tailor

some to rise the child's fear

some to soothe the jailor

if i had a chance to sing

sing the song for you

i would sing a simple song

love i have for you

sing out to me

i will sing out to you

i will sing across the sea

like drunken sailors do

a lonely song of love

for a pan american irish girl

songs of peace and songs of war

songs aloud at school

words to make our nation rise

lines to lay the rule

if i had a chance to sing

sing the song for you

i would sing a quiet song

love i have for you

sing out to me

i will sing out to you

i will sing across the sea

like drunken sailors do

a lonely song of love

for a pan american irish girl

sing out to me

i will sing out to you

i will sing across the sea

like drunken sailors do

a lonely song of love

for a pan american irish girl

sing out to me

i will sing out to you

i will sing across the sea

like drunken sailors do

a lonely song of love

for a pan american irish girl
