Verse One
Granddad Murphy comes from Belfast,
Nana comes from Sligo Bay,
But though their hands are old and sore,
I love to hear them song and play.

Di di diddle I diddle I di
Di di diddle I di

I love to hear them play the fiddle,
The whistle and the bodhran drum
And though I love the rock and metal,
Irish music’s much more fun.

Di di diddle I di

But I’m saving up to go to Cork,
To kiss the old Blarney Stone.
