01 Dec 01 - 06:54 PM (#601858) Subject: Christmas Time in Ireland From: SingsIrish Songs Hi everyone! I am looking for the lyrics to the song Christmas Time in Ireland. I understand it's been recorded by Foster and Allen, and probably lots of others.
...and the bells rang loud and clear. Does anyone have them to share? Thanks! Mary Kate |

Chorus Christmas Time in Ireland In the days when I was young When we gathered round the fire And the old songs they were sung To hear my dear old mother tell Of bygone days of yore And the way that she spent Christmas In dear old Lettermore Christmas Time was different In the days of yester year With candles in the window And the bells rang loud and clear All the family gathered They came from far and wide So we'd be all together For a joyous Christmas time Holly round the pictures Thread with berries bright Decorations followed They make a pretty site Peeping through the window The world is white with snow The friendly birds are calling And the widgeons they fly low Chorus It's well I do remember The nights of Christmas Eve As we watched the bright stars in the sky My stocking I would leave Hanging from the bedstead My heart is full of glee Hoping that dear Santa Claus Will please remember me And then on Christmas Morning As dinner time would near The smell of turkey cooking Oh the currant cakes and beer Happy happy Christmas Let us all be glad That we have cherished memories Of the Christmas's we've had Chorus |
