Текст песни Hugo Duncan - O'Hara From Tara

'HARA FROM TARA
As sung by Hugo Duncan on several albums

1. Here we are on Broadway, three thousand miles from home,
But it's back to dear old Ireland our hearts have ever roamed,
But when we do go back again, they'll take us by the hand,
And we will shout, "Hurrah! Hurrah!" again for dear old Ireland.

CHORUS: John James O'Hara
And Michael McNamara
Were two respected Irishmen wherever they did roam.
They were knowin [known] by their doin's,
They were men of great influence,
O'Hara from Tara, McNamara from Mayo.

2. Many the long year ago we cut the turf and hay,
And gathered in the corn field in the evening for the tay.
Those were the happy days, me boy, we used to reap and sow,
O'Hara from Tara, McNamara from Mayo.

3. Tomorrow we'll be on our way to dear old Erin's isle,
Back to home and plenty after many years of toil,
Back to hear the corncrake and the nightingale also.
They'll sing, "O'Hara from Tara, McNamara from Mayo."

4. Now I'm on my way to see the mother I adore
In her cozy wee thatched cabin with the ivy round the door.
She'll hold me in her arms as she did so long ago,
And together we'll sing the praises of old Tara and Mayo.
