Come Back to Erin - Larry Cunningham

Written by：Claribel

It's long and many a year ago since I left my native land

It's been no fault of mine that I left old Ireland

When mother and I parted some bitter tears were shed

Last night I dreamed of mother and in my dream she said

Oh come back home to Erin come back to Erin's shore

You know you're always welcome and you're Irish to the core

So

Come back home to Erin never again to roam

Come back to the one that loves you mo mhuirnín come back home

I know I had a sweetheart along with mother dear

She promised when I left her to be faithful and sincere

I know she kept her promise for while I was away

Every letter that she'd write like mother she would say

Oh come back home to Erin come back to Erin's shore

You know you're always welcome and you're Irish to the core

Come back home to Erin never again to roam

Come back to the one that loves you mo mhuirnín come back home

Well now I must be goin' it's time I was away

When I reach old Ireland we'll have a chat each day

It's then I'll marry Mary with Mary I will stay

In Ireland dear old Ireland and then no-one can say

Oh come back home to Erin come back to Erin's shore

You know you're always welcome and you're Irish to the core

So

Come back home to Erin never again to roam

Come back to the one that loves you mo mhuirnín come back home
