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 them

I have heard the band of hope
I joined in the chorus
I have looked straight through the past
Found out where the flaw is

Now some would sing to change the world
Some to change a tailor
Some to rest a child’s fear
Some to soothe a jailor

If I had a chance to sing
A single song for you
I would sing a quiet song
(Of the) 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 we learned at school
Words to make our nation rise
Lines to lay the rule

If I had a chance to sing
A single song for you
I would sing a quiet song
(Of the) 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
for a Pan American Irish Girl
