DUBLIN SAUNTER
(Trad.)
[This song was made famous by Irish actor Noel Purcell. The here version is as sung by Paddy Reilly. It's also known as "Dublin Can Be Heaven".]

I've been north and I've been south.
I've been rast and west.
I've been just a rolling stone,
Yet there's one place on this earth
I've always liked the best,
Just a little town I call my own.

For Dublin can be heaven
With coffee at eleven
And a stroll in Stephen's Green.
There's no need to hurry.
There's no need to worry.
You're a king and the lady's a queen.
Grafton Street's a wonderland.
There's magic in the air.
There's diamonds in the lady's eyes,
And gold dust in her hair,
And if you don't believe me,
Come and meet me there,
In Dublin on a sunny summer morning.

I've been here and I've been there.
I've sought the rainbow's end,
But no crock of gold I've found.
Now I know that, come what will,
Whatever fate may send,
Here my roots are deep in friendly ground.

For Dublin can be heaven
With coffee at eleven,
And a stroll in Stephen's Green.
There's no need to hurry.
There's no need to worry.
You're the king and the lady's a queen.
Grafton Street's a wonderland.
There's magic in the air.
There's diamonds in the lady's eyes
And gold dust in her hair,
And if you don't believe me,
Come and meet me there,
In Dublin on a sunny summer morning.

And if you don't believe me,
Come and meet me there,
In Dublin on a sunny summer morning.

Dublin Saunter

I've been North and I've been South I've been East and West
I've been just a rolling stone
Yet there's one place on this earth I've always loved the best
Just a little town I call my own


Oh Dublin town be heaven with coffee at eleven
And a stroll on Stephen's Green
There is no need to hurry
There is no need to worry
You're a king and the lady's a queen
You're off to see the wonderland
There's magic in the air
There's diamond's in the lady's eyes
And daisies in her hair
If you don't believe me come yourself to meet me
There in Dublin on a sunny summer morning

I've been here and I've been there
I saw some rainbow ends
But no pot of gold I found
Now I know that come what will
Whatever fate may send
Here my roots are deep in friendly ground
