Lyrics
Saint Brigid's Day (Hurry Home Róisín)
Hurry home Róisín
Ere a rose is seen
You promised we would marry in the spring
Hurry home Róisín
Soon the ewes will yean
You swore to me you would wear my ring
I know New York City
Is very far away
I pray you'll be with me
On Saint Brigid's Day
Hurry home Róisín
Before puffins preen
I miss you and all the joy you bring
I know New York [D] City
Is very far away
I pray you'll be with me
On Saint Brigid's Day
Hurry home Róisín
Ere a rose is seen
You promised we would marry in the spring
