Verse
Old songs and old stories
they keep us alive
Without our past,
we would never survive
I am my island,
my island is me
So you know what you can do
If you dont like what you see
Chorus
Kiss me Im Irish
I am the Wild Rover
My eyes they are smiling
And Im seldom sober
I like my whiskey
And I love to dance
So if youre feeling as lucky as me
Take a chance
And kiss me Im Irish, My heart beats a jig
Verse
and me blood it flows green
Ive been a rogue and a rambler
from ocean to sea
And I like a bevy, now and then,
that Ill never deny
But I only drink on the days of the week
that end with a Y
Im no saint, Im no sinner,
of that theres no doubt.
Ill tell ya the truth I am the one
That your grandmother warned you about!
Chorus
Kiss me Im Irish
I am the Wild Rover
My eyes they are smiling
And Im seldom sober
I like my whiskey
And I love to dance
So if youre feeling as lucky as me
Take a chance
And kiss me Im Irish
Bridge
Dublin, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Cork
Kerry, Chicago, Armagh and New York
Belfast and Boston, Donegal and DC
Raise your glasses and sing, sing, sing with me!
Chorus x2
Kiss me Im Irish
I am the Wild Rover
My eyes they are smiling
And Im seldom sober
I like my whiskey
And I love to dance
So if youre feeling as lucky as me
Take a chance
And kiss me Im Irish
