Daniel O'Donnell - Erin Tennessee lyrics

I left Ireland and crossed the Atlantic At home once more there was no work to find. With a heavy heart I had to make that journey With thoughts of friends and loved ones on my mind. I landed in New York then traveled southwards 'Cause city life was never meant for me. I think it must've been God's plan to lead me To a little town called Erin Tennessee There I felt I was back in my homeland Far across the sea Oh I found a little bit of Ireland Way down in Tennessee Now very soon I met a pretty lady She set my heart a whirlin' all could see I wanted her to be my one and only My southern belle from Erin Tennessee As we walked the hills I told her of my homeland Far across the sea I found love in that little bit of Ireland Called Erin Tennessee We settled on green rollin pastures It was there that she took my hand And we lived and we loved and we raised our children Far away from my own native land Now I often tell them of my homeland Far across the sea But we have a little bit of Ireland Here in Erin, Tennessee Yes we have a little bit of Ireland Here in Erin Tenneseee
