Wipe your feet on the mat and c'mon in, you're home now,draw up a seat by the fire and make yourselves at home..any news since you left...come here t' l II tell you who's dead, it's Ol' O Leary..buried years ago..
The factories are here,there's no shortage of anything in the shop...
Will you not come home to your own native place,Irishmen,from the land beyond the foam...
Come home Kate,Mary and Pat...there's a welcome on the mat...
Or,less prosaically, Irish America,are you not thinking of a very welcome return to the New Ireland...
....but,if you do come back at the closing of the day,leave behind your old Anglo-Saxon nonsense about drugs and guns....the whole world has seen enough of English and American barbarism.
Joseph Paul Mc Carroll LL.B.
