Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS TIME IN IRELAND
I think this is the one!

Chorus
Christmas Time in Ireland
In the days when I was young
When we gathered round the fire
And the old songs they were sung
To hear my dear old mother tell
Of bygone days of yore
And the way that she spent Christmas
In dear old Lettermore

Christmas Time was different
In the days of yester year
With candles in the window
And the bells rang loud and clear
All the family gathered
They came from far and wide
So we'd be all together
For a joyous Christmas time

Holly round the pictures
Thread with berries bright
Decorations followed
They make a pretty site
Peeping through the window
The world is white with snow
The friendly birds are calling
And the widgeons they fly low

Chorus

It's well I do remember
The nights of Christmas Eve
As we watched the bright stars in the sky
My stocking I would leave
Hanging from the bedstead
My heart is full of glee
Hoping that dear Santa Claus
Will please remember me

And then on Christmas Morning
As dinner time would near
The smell of turkey cooking
Oh the currant cakes and beer
Happy happy Christmas
Let us all be glad
That we have cherished memories
Of the Christmas's we've had

Chorus
