Erin Tennessee Lyrics - Stand Beside Me - Daniel O'donnell

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 

Instrumental 

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 

Instrumental 

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 

Instrumental
