You can hear this song at The Internet Archive; it's item #5 on the menu on that page.


SOMEONE'S WAITING FOR ME BACK IN IRELAND
As recorded by the McNulty Family on an LP: "The McNulty Family Entertains with Irish Songs" (Copley DWL 9-6044, 1957)

CHORUS: Oh, there's someone waitin' for me back in Ireland,
In Ireland, in Ireland,
With a jaunty Irish style and a roguish winning smile.
Sure divil a one I think about me darlin' all the while,
And I'll soon be sailin' home again to Ireland,
To one who's waitin', waitin' all alone.
Faith, me love is drivin' me crazy
And I know she'll never be aisy
Back in Ireland till her boy comes home.

VERSE: You can sing your songs of kisses, songs of smiles and girlies, too,
In the moonlight when your heart they go a-stealin',
But to me they're only foolin', and I don't mind tellin' you,
I've a plan that fairly sets me brain a-reelin'.
In a little spot in Ireland where the pretty shamrocks grow,
I'll have Irish smiles and kisses in an Irish bungalow.

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
