REQ: Lyrics: Ireland, Mother Ireland - John McCormack
Brian P Carty
by John McCormack in the movie "Song O' My Heart" in 1929.
Its also been performed more recently by the Three Irish Tenors
at their "Live From Belfast" concert. Unfortunately, despite all that
information, I absolutely cannot find the lyrics to this song.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

IRELAND MOTHER IRELAND
(Words by P. J. O'Reilly Music by Raymond Loughborough)
Oh, land of love and beauty
To you our hearts are wed
To you in lowly duty
We ever bow the head
Oh, perfect loving mother
Your exiled children all
Across the sund'ring seas to you
In fond devotion call
Chorus:-
If you sigh, we hear you
If you weep, we weep
In your hours of gladness
How our pulses leap!
Let what may befall
Ever shall we hold you
Dearest - best of all
Dear isle across the sea
Dear loving land of ours
May your days be sunny
And your way - a way of flowers!
Wide though we be scattered
By alien vale and hill
All the love you gave to us
We keep and cherish still
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
2nd version:
A Place of beauty, A face of torment
A place of peace, a face of pain
The face is now and ever changing
But the place is still the same
Ireland, Mother Ireland
You have dearly won that name
Your children leave you for different reasons
And many find fortune and fame
A time of talking, A time of fighting
A time of love, A time of war
The war is now and ever changing
With peace, Peace is still afar
Ireland, Mother Ireland
You have dearly won that name
Your children leave you for different reasons
And many find fortune and fame
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy! :o)
