Pan American Irish Girl

Some men sing of pirate gold

Some men sing of freedom

Others claim to know the truth

And others still believe ’em

I have heard the band of hope

I joined in the chorus

I have looked straight through the past

Found out where the fore is

Now some would sing to change the world

Some to change a tailor

Some to rise the child’s fear

Some to soothe the jailor

If I had a chance to sing

Sing the song for you

I would sing a simple song

Love I have for you

Sing out to me

I will sing out to you

I will sing across the sea

Like drunken sailors do

A lonely song of love

For a Pan American Irish Girl

Songs of peace and songs of war

Songs aloud at school

Words to make our nation rise

Lines to lay the rule

If I had a chance to sing

Sing the song for you

I would sing a quiet song

Love I have for you

Sing out to me

I will sing out to you

I will sing across the sea

Like drunken sailors do

A lonely song of love

for a Pan American Irish Girl

Sing out to me

I will sing out to you

I will sing across the sea

Like drunken sailors do

A lonely song of love

for a Pan American Irish Girl

Sing out to me

I will sing out to you

I will sing across the sea

Like drunken sailors do

A lonely song of love
