THE FOUR LEAF SHAMROCK OF GLENORE
Words by J. McGovern; music by F. Lochner.
"Copyrighted, 1886, by Thomas Russell."

1. I remember it was on St. Patrick's morning,
As I homeward made my way across the moor,
Ev'ry thought of care and sorrow gaily scorning,
When I found my little shamrock of Glenore.

CHORUS: Then here's the king of flowers from Killarney,
A flower so fair we will never see more.
Its perfume is as sweet as Irish blarney,
My little four-leaf shamrock from Glenore.

2. My dear mother in her cottage watch was keeping,
And I often find her now as once of yore,
O'er the little flow'r of Erin silent weeping,
As she looks upon that shamrock of Glenore.

3. I will ever keep this flower for a token
Of a day passed in the land that I adore,
Of dear Eily, my colleen, whose faith unbroken
Is as fair as this green shamrock of Glenore.

4. Although hither I have come across the ocean,
And although I dwell so far from Erin's shore,
I will ne'er forget the land of my devotion
While I'm gazing on this shamrock of Glenore.
