How Can You Buy Killarney? 1948 Vera Lynn

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 05 May 2003

An American landed on Erin's green isle,
He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile,
"How can I buy it?" he said to his guide,
"I'll tell you how," with a smile he replied.

How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
How can you purchase
a fond mother's sighs?
How can you buy Killarney?
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile,
The em'rald, the shamrock, the blarney,
When can you buy all these wonderful things,
then you can buy Killarney.

Such a wonderful landscape
you never have seen,
a jewel so rare 'twould befit any queen,
Pride of old Erin a joy to behold,
Heaven on Earth, far more precious than gold,

How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
How can you purchase
a fond mother's sighs?
How can you buy Killarney?
Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile,
The em'rald, the shamrock, the blarney,
When can you buy all these wonderful things,
then you can buy Killarney.
