It's A Great Day For The Irish - The Hit Co

It's A Great Day For The Irish - The Hit Co.

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 meself 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 streets 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

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

For shure Barry think cause every Irish

It's a great, great day
