Story behind the song
Inspired in part by an 'after hours' night with Liam Clancy and Robbie O'Connell at Ireland's Four Provinces Restaurant in Washington, DC... my song of my dream to go to Ireland someday tho something always seems to intervene to prevent it.. Meagan Lane of Callian's Dream on vocals.. Meagan thinks Liam should put this song on one of his albums - I think so too but I can't quit the day job waiting for that to happen..

Lyrics
TO IRELAND (SOMEDAY TO GO) I've seen the pictures - I've heard the songs I've sung the lyrics - I've played along In Dublin' Fair city -sweet Molly Malone Tell me Sean O'Farrell will I ever go home? And I've read the histories of this land called Erin Her long struggles to be A Nation Once Again The Celli and the leprechaun Take Me Home To Mayo The Black Velvet Band sings for Pretty Peggy O I want to see County Cork - The River Shannon flow It's always been a dream of mine to Ireland someday to go - To Ireland someday to go I want to share the music - hear the old songs being sung See the Four Green Fields where my grandmother played when she was young I want to stand inside of castles - hear piper's music in the air Then Off To Dublin In Green to see the lads and colleens so fair To go to Ireland I've dreamed since I was small To see The Emerald Isle my ancestors called And like A Wild Rover to The Fields Of Athenry I hope I can go at least one time before I die I want to see County Cork - The River Shannon flow It's always been a dream of mine to Ireland someday to go - To Ireland someday to go Copyright © 2000 Davy Shannon.
