Love Of The North - The Clancy Brothers

oh love of the north with a dream in his hand

my love has come home to this beautiful land

and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun

and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he’s won

a bottle, a broom, an old foreign tale

the shell of a clam, and the jaws of a whale

my kitchen is full of the smell of the sea

and all the fine things that my love brings to me

come gather your treasures, a garden in bloom

and bring them along to our sweet little room

with the sun in the morning ablaze on your chest

my love has come home from the north or northwest

oh love of the north with a dream in his hand

my love has come home to this beautiful land

and he comes through the door with his eyes like the sun

and his kit-bag all full of the treasures he’s won
