Christmas In Killarney
The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks from home
It’s nice you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus, you know of course
Is one of the boys from home
The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John, before he’s gone
Will bless the house and all
Our hearts are light
Our spirits bright
We’ll celebrate our joy tonight
It’s Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks from home
We’ll decorate the Christmas tree
While all the family’s here
Around a roaring fire
We’ll raise a cup of cheer
There’s gifts to bring
And songs to sing
And laughs to make the rafters ring
It’s Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks from home
We’ll take the horse and sleigh
Across the fields of snow
Listening to the jingle bells
And everywhere we go
How grand it feels to click your heels
And dance away to jigs and reels
It’s Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks from home
Listen to the song
