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
