An American landed on Erin's green isle,
He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile.
"How can I buy it?", he said to his guide
"I'll tell you how", with a smile he replied.
How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs?
How can you buy Killarney?
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile,
The emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney.
When you can buy all these wonderful things,
Then you can buy Killarney.
Such a wonderful landscape you never have seen,
A jewel so rare 'twould befit any queen.
Pride of old Erin, a joy to behold,
Heaven on earth, are more precious than gold.
