American Old Time Song Lyrics: 29 Oh Erin, My Country
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 29
OH! ERIN, MY COUNTRY
By Charles Jeffereys.
Oh! Erin, my country, tho' strangers may roam
The hills And the vallies I once called my home,
Thy lakes And thy mountains no longer I see,
Yet warmly as ever my heart beats for thee.
Oh! Cushla Machree, my heart beats for thee,
Erin, Erin, my heart beats for thee.
Oh! years have passed o'er me since last time we met.
Yet lived I a thousand, I could not forget
The true heart that loved me, the bright eyes that shone
Like stars in the heaven of days that are gone.
Oh! Cushla Machree, my heart beats for thee,
Erin, Erin, my heart beats for thee.
Dear home of my youth. I may see thee no more,
But memory treasures the bright days of yore,
And my heart's latest wish, the lost sigh of my breast,
Shall be given to thee, dearest land of the West,
Oh! Cushla Machree. my heart beats for thee,
Erin, Erin, loved Cushla Machree.
