Ellis Island lyrics

On the second Sunday, Annie be my guide.

Liberty's a welcome to an aching eye.

We'll grow up together far away from home.

Crossed the sea and ocean to the land of hope.

Kingstown to Liverpool, crossing the Irish Sea.

You gotta keep your wits on you, where you lay your head.

Six-minute medical, leaving no chalk on me.

Goodbye Ellis Island, hello land of free.

Every man and woman, every girl and boy,

sing out Ellis Island, sing a song of hope.

Sing for us together, sing we're not alone.

Sing we'll go back someday, sing we will belong.

When the leaves are falling, sky is upon the ground.

We will come together and sing of Ireland,

thanking Ellis Island - thank you, USA.

You gave us a home here crying a brand new day.

Queenstown to New York bay, wild Atlantic Ocean.

You gotta keep your wits on you where you lay your head.

Six-minute medical, leaving no chalk on me.

Goodbye Ellis Island, hello land of free.

Every man and woman, every girl and boy,

sing out Ellis Island, sing a song of hope.

Sing for us together, sing we're not alone.

Sing we'll go back someday, sing we will belong.

Sing for us together, sing we're not alone.

Sing we'll go back someday, sing we will belong.

Sing out Ellis Island, sing we're not alone.

Sing we'll go back someday, sing we will belong.

Sing we will belong.
