Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- If I’m dreamin’, don’t wake me, Acushla
For I see Erin wearin’ a smile
And dried are the tears that were fallin’ for years
On her own darlin’ Emerald Isle, Oh! then
Refrain
Erin, you’re wearin’ a wonderful smile
And it’s proud I am of you today
All the sorrows you’ve suffered were well worth the while
Just to know that they’re fadin’ away
Shure the Shannon is singin’ an ould Irish song
And the Shamrock again is in style
May the Blessin’ of God be yours always, ould sod
Erin, you’re wearin’ a wonderful smile
- Shure I hope I’m not dreamin’, Acushla
And the smile that I see will not die
Till skies overhead see the Shamrock grow red
And the lakes of Killarney run dry, Oh! then
