The lyrics shown above in the "Show More" section do not match the song as played in the video. The correct lyrics for Crosby's version are as follows:Three years ago this very day,I left the port of Cork,And on a ship from old Erin's isle,I landed in New York,Without a friend to meet me there,The stranger on the shore.But I wore an honest Irish heart,And fortune came galore,So here I am, back again,On dear old Erin's isle.The friends, they meet me on the quay,And they greet me with a smile,For there's faces there that I surely forgot,For I was so long away,But me mother, she introduces all,And this is what she say,Shake hands with your Uncle Mike, me boy,Shake hands with your sister, Kate,And this is the girl you used to swing,Down on the garden gate,Shake hands with all of the neighbours,And kiss the colleens all,You're as welcome as the flowers in May,To dear old Donegal,Well, they gave a party when I came back,And they came from near and far,And the road was lined for near a mile,With Irish jauntin' cars,And the whiskey flowed like buttermilk,To fill our hearts with joy,And the piper played an Irish reel,To greet the Yankee boy,So tomorrow off to church I'll go,And wedded I will be,To my pretty little colleen,Sweet Biddy McGee,For Biddy was true and faithful,To her Barney o'er the sea,And we'll join the harp and shamrocks,For the stars of liberty.There came Branigan, Flannigan, Milligan, Gilligan,Duffy, McGuffy, Malachy, Mahone,Rafferty, Lafferty, Donnelly, Connelly,Dooley, O'Hooley, Muldowney, Malone,Colonna, O'Hona, Herlanahan, Flanihan,Fagan, O'Hagan, O'Hoolihan, Flynn,Shanahan, Manahan, Fogarty, Hogarty,Kelly, O'Skelly, McGuinness, McGuinne.(Pat O'Brien was late!)Then shake the hand of your Uncle Mike,And the hand of your sister, Kate.And I'll hug and I'll squeeze as much as I please,The girl on the garden gate.Then invite all the neighbours,To the weddin', great and small,And I'll live content, and pay no rent,In dear old Donegal.

My dream is to go and see Donegal for myself. The origins of Clann O'Dochartaig!

THIS IS REALITY MUSIC!!! Reality is love, reality is joy, reality is sharing and caring, reality is loving your neighbor and family, reality is having a song like this, to make your heart swell with love, and joy!!! Thank God for reality!!! If we could only get a "Reality T.V. show"!!!!!!!! Get it?!?!?!?

My ancestors lived in Donegal. I never heard these words to this song before. I recognize the music. Thanks for posting this..I really enjoyed it! :D <3 Maureen, a Half-Irish Colleen

Why are the lyrics so diffrent from what's actually sung? Everywhere I look they're all the same. But they don't sound like the song.

Being an Irish American, it's great to hear these songs that are distinctively Irish American. They're a pleasing hybrid of both styles of music.

I remember my father singing this at the campfire we would have when camping every week. He'd play the harmonica, and break to sing all the names. God rest his soul.
