Lyrics
- Oh my heart is back in Ireland
With the girl I left behind
I hear her step at ev’ry turn
Her voice on ev’ry wind
When I make a mint of money
I’ll go across the sea
And I’ll marry Julie Dooley
She’s waitin’ there for me
Refrain
Julie Dooley, she’s the belle of Kildare
Blue the skies in her laughing eyes
There’s sunlight in her hair
It’s for her that me heart is near
Bustlin’ with love at the thoughts
Of her beauty so rare
She’ll be my bride
The joy and pride of Old, Kildare
- Sometimes her hand comes stealin’
And nestlin’ soft in mine
I feel her breath upon my cheek
Her eyes my heart entwine
I see her lips like cherries
Her tantalizin’ smile
But I know I’m only dreamin’
I’m just dreamin’ all the while
