Big Country Pan American Irish Girl
Some men sing of pirate gold
Some men sing of freedom
Others claim to know the truth
And others still believe 'em
I have heard the band of hope
I joined in the chorus
I have looked straight through the past
Found out where the fore is
Now some would sing to change the world
Some to change a tailor
Some to rise the child's fear
Some to soothe the jailor
If I had a chance to sing
Sing the song for you
I would sing a simple song
Love I have for you
Sing out to me
I will sing out to you
I will sing across the sea
Like drunken sailors do
A lonely song of love
For a Pan American Irish Girl
Songs of peace and songs of war
Songs aloud at school
Words to make our nation rise
Lines to lay the rule
If I had a chance to sing
Sing the song for you
I would sing a quiet song
Love I have for you
Sing out to me
I will sing out to you
I will sing across the sea
Like drunken sailors do
A lonely song of love
for a Pan American Irish Girl
Sing out to me
I will sing out to you
I will sing across the sea
Like drunken sailors do
A lonely song of love
for a Pan American Irish Girl
Sing out to me
I will sing out to you
I will sing across the sea
Like drunken sailors do
A lonely song of love
for a Pan American Irish Girl
