How Can You Buy Killarney

Ted Steels | Gerald Morrison | Freddie Grundland | Hamilton Kennedy

An American landed on Erin’s green isle
He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile
“How can I buy it?” he said to his guide
“I’ll tell you how”, with a smile he replied

How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
How can you purchase a fond mother’s sighs?
How can you buy Killarney?
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile
The emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney
When you can buy all these wonderful things
Then you can buy Killarney

Such a wonderful landscape you never have seen
A jewel so rare ‘twould befit any queen
Pride of old Erin, a joy to behold
Heaven on earth, far more precious than gold
