Generations
(© 2010 Jim "Carbomb" Parkinson)
GThey farmed in the Dfields and they Cworked in the Gfactories
CSurviving the Gcold and the Drain
GThey built the great Dland that they Ccall Emerald GIsle
CAmidst all the Dhardships and Gpain
CThey came from the Dfields and the Gcities
With their Cstrength and their Dsouls and their Emminds
CAnd they sang and they Gdanced to the Dtunes of old EmIreland
So they Cnever would Dleave them behiGnd
They left from the docks all aboard sailing ships
To the strains of American Wakes
Once through Ellis Island they started the trip
With a dream of a new life to make
They came from the fields and the cities
With their strength and their souls and their minds
And they sang and they danced to the tunes of old Ireland
So they never would leave them behind
They work different jobs and they still raise their families
Surviving the changes and times
They gather in places to share in the music
And sing with the tunes and the rhymes
They came from the fields and the cities
With their strength and their souls and their minds
And they sang and they danced to the tunes of old Ireland
 So they never would leave them behind
We come from the suburbs and cities
With our strength and our souls and our minds
And we sing and we dance to the tunes of old Ireland
So we never will leave them behind.
