Irish Heart lyrics

At only the age of seven

With a fiddle on his hand

My great-grandfather Sean

Had to leave his homeland

He swore that he'd return

No matter the cost

But the times stayed rough

And his dreams got lost

At fourteen he got ill

Could no longer walk

The doctors tried to help

All they did was just talk

But something deep inside him

Just wouldn't give up

Until he became a tap dancer

Can you feel my Irish heart

Can you feel my Irish heart

Beating, beating?

Can you feel my Irish heart

Can you feel my Irish heart

Beating, beating?

So like my late father

And his fathers before

I'm proud to say I'm Irish

Down to the core

And even though I've lived

Mostly astray

The song, the dance, the humour

It just won't go away

And if you'd say I'm ugly

Well, you would be right

But you would want me with you

If you got in a fight

I finally returned

For meself and little Sean

To the country with the biggest heart

Can you feel my Irish heart

Can you feel my Irish heart

Beating, beating?

Can you feel my Irish heart

Can you feel my Irish heart

Beating, beating?
