were you ever alone with the necked mile across that other ocean
To go back home just one more time to where your grandma came from
If your children share the love you feel and it fills your heart with pride
Then you are sentimental Irish deep inside

If you're holding on to some sweet dream instead of letting go
If your thoughts are filled with memories of times long long ago
And if you love each blade of grass so green from Cork to Donaghadee
Then you are sentimental Irish just like me

You are sentimental Irish with your heart upon your sleeve
nothing in this world could change the things that you feel
if you shed a tear drop now and then when no-one else can see
Then you are sentimental Irish just like me

If you still recall your mother's words from when you were a child
and sometimes in a crowded room you see your father's smile
and you would give just anything to share this memory
Then you are sentimental Irish just like me

You are sentimental Irish with your heart upon your sleeve
nothing in this world could change the things that you feel
if you shed a tear drop now and then when no-one else can see
Then you are sentimental Irish just like me

You are sentimental Irish with your heart upon your sleeve
nothing in this world could change the things that you feel
if you shed a tear drop now and then when no-one else can see
Then you are sentimental Irish
sentimental Irish
you are sentimental Irish just like me
yes you are sentimental Irish just like me
