Oh Ireland's turning country, that's the word out on the street
And everywhere you go toes are tapping to the beat
And all across the nation, when the weekend comes around
They're out there country jiving, in the cities and the towns

Now when the band begins to play everybody hits the floor
When the music's over they all shout for more

Oh Ireland's turning country everywhere you go
From Cork right up to Donegal from Dublin to Mayo
Me and my band gonna cross the land, we're putting on a show
People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country

I met a pretty little jiving queen at the country dance one night
I asked her on the floor and we danced all through the night
When we went slow dancing she held me so tight
Now we've been together since she danced into my life

Now when the band begins to play everybody hits the floor
When the music's over they all shout for more

Oh Ireland's turning country everywhere you go
From Cork right up to Donegal from Dublin to Mayo
Me and my band gonna cross the land, we're putting on a show
People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country

Now when the band begins to play everybody hits the floor
When the music's over they all shout for more

Oh Ireland's turning country everywhere you go
From Cork right up to Donegal from Dublin to Mayo
Me and my band gonna cross the land, we're putting on a show
People say it's here to stay, Ireland's turning country
