MY IRISH JAUNTING CAR

I am an Irish Jarvy and Ireland is my home.
There's nowhere else on this old earth where I would wish to roam,
But I like to meet the stranger and drive them near and far
To view the sights of old Ireland in my Irish jaunting car.

CHORUS: Come drive you in my jaunting car through Roscommon and Kildare,
Through Dublin town to Ballina or the lovely County Clare,
From Cork to Limerick and Athlone and home by Mullingar,
You can view the lakes of Killarney from my Irish jaunting car.

Some people now want change of air go far across the main
To view the sights and scenery of Italy and Spain,
But if I only had my way, they'd never go that far
Until they'd be round old Ireland in my Irish jaunting car. CHORUS

(Good Luck Spalpeen)
