Lyrics

I'll sing you a song of days long ago When the people from Galway and the County Mayo And all over Ireland came over to stay And take up a new life in Americay They were ever so happy, they were ever so sad To grow old in a new world through good times and bad All the parties and weddings, the ceilis and wakes When New York was Irish, full of joys and heartbreaks We worked on the subways, we ran the saloons We built all the bridges, we played all the tunes We put out the fires and controlled City Hall We started with nothing and wound up with it all You could travel from Kingsbridge to Queens or mid town From Highbridge to Bay Ridge, From up town to down From the East Side to the seaside's Sweet summer scenes We made New York City our island of dreams I look at the photos now Brittle with time Of the people I cherished when The city was mine O, how I loved all those radiant smiles How I long for the days when we danced in the aisles
