Oh,
the lark and the heather she sings with delight
Her song rises bold in the morning light
And the ale in my hand, it's a friend so true
A cheer to the dawn and the sparkling dew
Sing, hey, sing, oh, let the fiddle strings play
And the tin whistle's calling, it kisses the sky
Round the fire,
oh,
gather no sorrow to share The lark and the ale,
they'll banish all care
The banjo,
it dances,
its notes running wild The barn keeps pace with the heart of a child
Down the lane where the clovers grow green and thick
We'll whirl through the night till the clock's final tick
Raise your glass,
raise your voice Let the hills hear our choice
Sing, hey, sing, oh, let the fiddle strings play
And the tin whistle's calling, it kisses the sky
Round the fire,
oh,
gather no sorrow to share The lark and the ale,
they'll banish all care
Under the moonlight the stories unfold Of treasures,
of heartbreak, of glories untold
But with each lively tune and laughter we trade
We're richer than kings with the joy that we've made
Sing, hey, sing, oh, let the fiddle strings play
And the tin whistle's calling, it kisses the sky
Round the fire, oh, gather no sorrow to share
The lark and the ale, they'll banish all care
Sing, hey, sing, oh, let the fiddle strings play
The tin whistle's calling, it kisses the sky
Round the fire, oh, gather no sorrow to share
The lark and the ale, they'll banish all care
