Are you going across to Ireland?
Will you take me in your car?
I'm sure you'll find my conversation sound.
I can pay my way entirely.
I'll enjoy your company.
Leave me off in any Tipperary Town.
Sure there's Cashel Tipp and Lorra,
Old Borris and Clogheen.
You can take me where I've never been before,
In Dundrum, Roscrea or Carrick,
In Thurles or Clonmel,
Or my birthplace by the town of Templemore.
CHO: Leave me on the road to Nenagh
Where the rippling Shannon calls,
And the Arra Mountains join the Silvermines.
I'll be happy too in Cahir
Where the Galtee shadows fall.
I'm at home in any Tipperary town.
I relive again the memory
Of days I used to know
'Ere I let my wandering dreams invade my mind
In that little town of Emly
I knew so long ago.
How I rue the day I left it all behind!
