Limerick, you’re a lady,
Your Shannon water’s tears of joy have flown-
The beauty that surrounds you
I take it with me love where e’er I go,
While waking in the arms of distant waters
A new day finds me far away from home;
Then Limerick you’re a lady,
The one true love that I have ever known.
As children you and I spend endless days of fun,
In winter snows and summer’s golden sun;
We fished in silver streams – the fabric of my dreams,
Was fashioned by your loveliness, and so I had to say-
Chorus:
Limerick, you’re a lady etc.,
A gift that time has made to travellers on their way,
Seeking out the beauty of our land,
A shrine where children pray and bells ring out to say
Thank God we’re living just for you the freedom of each day.
Chorus:
Limerick, you’re a lady etc.
