Christmas in Killarney - The Irish Rovers

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, ya know, to kiss your beau

While cuddlin' under the mistletoe

And Santa Clause, ya know of course

Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open

The neighbors pay you call

And Father John, before he’s gone

Will bless the house and all

Our hearts are light

Our spirits bright

We’ll celebrate our joy tonight

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, ya know, to kiss your beau

While cuddlin' under the mistletoe

And Santa Clause, ya know of course

Is one of the boys from home

We’ll decorate the Christmas tree

when all the family’s here

Around the roarin' fire

we will raise a cup of cheer

There’s gifts to bring

And songs to sing

And laughs to make the rafters ring

It’s Christmas in Killarney

with all of the folks at home

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, ya know, to kiss your beau

While cuddlin' under the mistletoe

And Santa Clause, ya know of course

Is one of the boys from home

— Instrumental intermission —

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, ya know, to kiss your beau

While cuddlin' under the mistletoe

And Santa Clause, ya know of course

Is one of the boys from home

We’ll take the horse and sleigh all

across the fields a-snow

listenin' to the jingle bells

everywhere we go

How grand it feels

To click your heels

And dance away to the jigs and reels

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, ya know, to kiss your beau

While cuddlin' under the mistletoe

And Santa Clause, ya know of course

Is one of the boys from home

The holly green, the ivy green

The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen

I’m handin' you no blarney

No matter where you roam

It’s Christmas in Killarney

With all of the folks at home
