Eddie Morton — In Ireland

[Verse 1] If you should go to Ireland, the place you'll never know The dear old land's completely changed from days of long ago The fine ol' Irish families who made the country grand They all have sailed across the seas...to rule in Yankeeland! [Chorus] In Ireland, In Ireland Yeah, the old place isn't like it was before They hear the King and then salute him Regular Irishmen would shoot him Ireland isn't Ireland anymore [Verse 2] The Sullivans, and Crawfords too, are men of Irish birth Their fighting fathers tried to wipe ol' England off the earth But now King Ed is [?] families And soon King Ed will have the nerve to visit [?]! [Chorus] In Ireland, In Ireland Yeah, the old place isn't like it was before When you see men like Richard Crawford Playing the King of England proper Ireland isn't Ireland anymore [Verse 3] There's no more [pink?] in Ireland, from Dublin up to Cork It's getting so there's no one there will eat a piece of pork And up around [Callan?], there's a man named Izzy [Cone?] He's [?] to sell them for cologne [Chorus] In Ireland, In Ireland Yeah, the old place isn't like it was before They call their babies Hans and Herman Everyone there is talkin' German Ireland isn't Ireland anymore [Verse 4] In Dublin's finest restaurant, it's quite beyond belief They told me no-one ever calls for cabbage or corned beef Eight Irishmen were at the bar, they acted very queer Instead of drinkin' whiskey they...all ordered lager beer! [Chorus] In Ireland, In Ireland Yeah, the old place isn't like it was before There was one young Irish fellow He had a glass of sarsaparilla Ireland isn't Ireland anymore
