Amhrán - Nellie Ray (continued)
“I love a little country queen ¶ Of village beauty and rare”
(continued from previous page)Nellie Ray like birds- in May singing all the day
I never had a sweet heart id compare with Nellie May
Home again from a foreign shore .
Home again,home again from a foreign shore.
And oh it fills my soul with joy .
To meet my friends once more.
Here I'd drop the parting tear
To cross the oceans foam.
But now I'm once again with those who kindly greet me home .
Chorus
Home again,home again from a foreign shore.
And oh it fills my soul with joy.
To meet my friends once more.
Music soft ,Music soft lingers round the place
And oh I feel my childhood charm .
That time cannot efface
Then give me but my homestead roof .
I'll ask no palace dome .
For I can live a happy life with those I love
Chorus(continues on next page)- Collector
