DID YOUR MOTHER COME FROM IRELAND?
("Jimmy Kennedy / Michael Carr)

as recorded by Connie Francis
1962


Did your mother come from Ireland?
'Cause there's somethin' in your Irish,
Will you tell me where you get those Irish eyes?
And before she left Killarney,
Did your mother kiss the Blarney?
'Cause your little touch of brogue you can't disguise!

Oh I wouldn't be romancin',
I can almost see you dancin'
While the Kerry pipers play!
Sure and maybe we'll be sharin'
In the shamrock you'll be wearin'
On the next St Patrick's Day!

Did your mother come from Ireland?
'Cause there's somethin' in your Irish,
And that bit of Irish steals my heart away!

And that bit of Irish steals my heart away!
