| 10. |
May you never find trouble,
all crowdin' and shov'n.
But always good fortune,
All smilin' and lovin'. |
| 9. |
May your home be filled with
laughter
May your pockets be filled with gold,
And may you have all the happiness
Your Irish heart can hold. |
| 8. |
May you have the hindsight to
know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you're going,
And the insight to know when you're going too far. |
| 7. |
May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping. |
| 6. |
May your troubles be less,
And your blessings be more.
And nothing but happiness
Come through your door. |
| 5. |
May you be in Heaven
Half an hour before
The devil knows you're dead. |
| 4. |
May God in His wisdom
And infinite love
Look down on you always,
From Heaven above.
May He send you good fortune,
Contentment and peace.
And may all your blessings
Forever increase. |
| 3. |
May the sound of happy music
And the lilt of Irish laughter
Fill your heart with gladness
That stays forever after. |
| 2. |
May the luck of the Irish
Leap to happiest heights
And the highway you travel
Be lined with green lights. |
| 1. |
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand. |
