| Oh, I met her on the Cliffs of Moher | 
| A lovely girl in a lovely land | 
| She said she came from Philadelphia | 
| A city in a far-off land | 
| She always wanted to see Ireland | 
| A place she calls her ancestral home | 
| Her people came from Tipperary | 
| From Cork, from Belfast, and Tyrone | 
| A land of beauty and of mystery | 
| This ancient land that I love | 
| A land of history and tragedy | 
| This is the land I love | 
| A land of beauty and tranquility | 
| Of our music and of song | 
| A land of mystery and history | 
| This is the land I love (Ireland) | 
| So, I walked around the Ring of Kerry | 
| Killarney’s lakes and Cashel’s halls | 
| Through lofty hills and pleasant valleys | 
| She found a land that was her home | 
| In the Georges Streets of Dublin city | 
| Love blossomed like a summer’s rose | 
| Then to Tara’s Hill of ancient legend | 
| And New Grange at the evening’s close | 
| A land of beauty and of mystery | 
| This ancient land that I love | 
| A land of history and tragedy | 
| This is the land I love | 
| A land of beauty and tranquility | 
| Of our music and of song | 
| A land of mystery and history | 
| This is the land I love (Ireland) | 
| Then we walked the streets of Ulster | 
| We’ve seen a divided, troubled land | 
| With emblems, flags, and colours blazing | 
| A divided people, a divided land | 
| On Antrim’s coast we saw great beauty | 
| On the Causeway we took photographs | 
| From Derry’s walls right through Lough Erne | 
| We shared our jokes and songs and laughs | 
| A land of beauty and of mystery | 
| This ancient land that I love | 
| A land of history and tragedy | 
| This is the land I love | 
| A land of beauty and tranquility | 
| Of our music and of song | 
| A land of mystery and history | 
| This is the land I love (Ireland) | 
| We said goodbye on the Cliffs of Moher | 
| In a fleeting glance love passed us by | 
| As the sun was merging with the ocean | 
| And disappearing from the sky | 
| Then the moon rose up in great defiance | 
| For stars were twinkling in the sky | 
| In the shadows of that summer’s evening | 
| We kissed once more and said goodbye (Ireland) |
