My faithful friends
It's been so long
Since I sailed away
From my own native home
But Ireland's always been
Here on my mind
And o what I'd give
Just to be there
one more time.
I'll always have an Irish heart
No matter where I go
I know where I came here from
My homeland and I.
Will never be far apart
For I'll always have an Irish heart.
My faithful friends
My time has come
To leave this world
And to enter god's home
I pray he'll fly me high
He'll understand
I need to say goodbye
To my Ireland
I'll always have an Irish heart
No matter where I go
I know where I came here from
My homeland and I.
Will never be far apart
For I'll always have an Irish heart.
