Oh, the stars are so bright over Tucson tonight. I can see the Milky Way. As I trace each star in the Heavens afar, I remember my home far away. It's been twenty odd years since I left home. My tears still I shed for the land I love. So, I sing this to thee, O Erin gra mo chroí, from Tucson To Tír na nÓg.

Chorus: Land of my heart. My soul is yearning. Land of my dreams. Light in my eyes. I will come back. I'll be returning to Erin, my love, from Tucson To Tír na nÓg.

As I lie down in bed, mem'ries flow through my head of my friends, and the days gone by. I have left family in old Erin, you see, and I've made a new home here for me. So bless Tucson, this night. Oh, my heart so delights in my glorious desert home. Still in my dreams alone, to old Erin I'll roam, from Tucson To Tír na nÓg.

Chorus

To Erin, my love, from Tucson To Tír na nÓg.
