Tender, lyrical waltz about a man who leaves everything he knows and loves in Kerry to follow his Colleen to Delancey Street. And it's all worth it.
Brand new old songs of the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s.
Lyrics
Across The Ocean Sea
Colleen, Colleen, Colleen tell me true
I have crossed the ocean sea,
All for the love, for the love of you.
Colleen, Colleen, tell me you love me do
I have lost home and family,
All for the love, for the love of you.
Kerry is the fairest place that I have ever seen
There I spent all my childhood days
Always in love with you, my Colleen.
There one evening by Lough Currane
You took my heart away
To pack it up with your girlhood things
And carry it off to Americay.
Instr: First 3 lines of chorus
New York is the coldest place that I have ever known
Touched by the sun of your own sweet face
My love for you like a flower has grown.
A tenement on Delancey Street
Barely eight feet wide
A castle grand for a king could be
With Colleen O’Shaughnessy there by my side.
Colleen, Colleen, Colleen tell me true
I have crossed the ocean sea,
All for the love, for the love of you.
Colleen, Colleen, tell me you love me do
I have lost home and family,
All for the love, for the love of you.
