Are you sure that's the correct title? I thought I had it somewhere and I know the song you mean. I've been going through my Wolfe Tones and I can't find it. Mick Bracken

As far as I can remember it's the album with the tricolour faces on the front (I think it's called the" Wolfe Tones") and I think it's the first song (I don't have it any more so I'm guessing)

Thanks

Lyrics as requested

MY HEART IS IN IRELAND

In the East End of London, I met an old man.
He kept a bar called the Horses and Tram.
"My parents were Irish. They loved that dear land,"
The Cockney, he smiled, then he shook my old hand.

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be.
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me.
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland.
The land of the old folks is calling to me."

Near a coal mine in Wales, by a roadside cafe,
A young girl came smiling, and to me did say,
"Well, my folks are from Ireland. My Da', he hopes one day
When he leaves the mines, sure we'll go back to stay."

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be.
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me.
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland.
The land of the old folks is calling to me."

Then I went through the Midlands, through each city and town.
I found there were Irish in each place I roamed.
And I drank and I sang at a pub they call the Crown.
With the Birmingham Irish, we sang songs of home.

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be.
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me.
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland.
The land of the old folks is calling to me."

Then I went north to Scotland, to Glasgow on the Clyde.
I met with some young lads. They said, "Celtic's our side.
All our folks are from Ireland, the island of the green.
A country we love, but a place we've not seen."

"My heart is in Ireland, it's there I long to be.
Her hills and her valleys are calling to me.
Though born here in this land, my heart is in Ireland.
The land of the old folks is calling to me."

Are you possibly talking about Andy Irvines "My Hearts Tonight In Ireland"?

There's no songwriter name or source information in the Digital Tradition. Anybody know anything about this song? Know of any recordings? I did find one Wolfe Tones "Greatest Hits" album with this song listed.
