The Kingdom Of Kerry
To the county that's known as the Kingdom
As memories dear to each one
To the emigrant living in London
In Boston or far off Melbourne
Some remember the lakes of Killarney
Some remember the rose of Tralee
But I put my own special memory
Of the county that's so dear to me
Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
But to others the sweetest of memories
That they all would like to recall
Where the men in the Green and Gold jerseys
Who love to play Gaelic football
Mick O'Dwyer, the great Mick O'Connell
Not forgetting the 4 in a row
The music and songs of Slibh Luachra
Their memory will go on and on
Oh Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
I remember Puck Fair in Killorgin
The all Ireland Fleadh in Listowel
Or how I used to go walking
'Neath the shadow of sweet Carrauntoohil
Ballybunion will always be special
It was there that I met Peg O'Shea
Now we're married for over three decades
I love her more every day
Oh, Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
Oh, Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
As memories dear to each one
To the emigrant living in London
In Boston or far off Melbourne
Some remember the lakes of Killarney
Some remember the rose of Tralee
But I put my own special memory
Of the county that's so dear to me
Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
But to others the sweetest of memories
That they all would like to recall
Where the men in the Green and Gold jerseys
Who love to play Gaelic football
Mick O'Dwyer, the great Mick O'Connell
Not forgetting the 4 in a row
The music and songs of Slibh Luachra
Their memory will go on and on
Oh Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
I remember Puck Fair in Killorgin
The all Ireland Fleadh in Listowel
Or how I used to go walking
'Neath the shadow of sweet Carrauntoohil
Ballybunion will always be special
It was there that I met Peg O'Shea
Now we're married for over three decades
I love her more every day
Oh, Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
Oh, Take me back, take me back to the Kingdom
To the county that's been home to me
Just lay me to rest with the folks that are best
In the heart of the Kingdom of Kerry
