Stone Outside Dan Murphy’s Door

here’s a sweet garden spot in my memory
‘Tis the place I was born in and reared
‘Tis long years ago since I left it
But return there I will if I’m spared
To the friends and companions of childhood
Who’d assemble each night by the score
Round Dan Murphy’s shop, and there we would stop
At the stone that stood outside his door
Those days in our hearts we will cherish
Contented although we were poor
And the songs that we sung in the days we were young
On the stone outside Dan Murphy’s door

When our days work was over we’d go there
In summer or winter the same
The boys and girls would assemble
And join in some innocent game
Dan Murphy would bring down his fiddle
While his daughter would look after the store
The music would ring and the songs we would sing
On the stone outside Dan Murphy’s door
Those days in our hearts we will cherish
Contented although we were poor
And the songs that we sung in the days we were young
On the stone outside Dan Murphy’s door
And the songs that we sung in the days we were young
On the stone outside Dan Murphy’s door
