All that trouble all that grief

That's why I had to leave

Stayed away too long

Was is in defeat

Why I'm singin' this song

Why I'm headin' back home

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

I'm just like a hobo ridin' a train

I'm like a gangster livin' in Spain

Have to watch my back

And I'm running out of time

When I roll the dice, again

If lady luck will call my name

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

Well, that's what makes it beat

When I'm standing on the street

And I'm standing

Underneath this Wrigley's sign

Ooh, so far away from home

But I know I've got to roam

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

(Instrumental & guitar)

And it was off to foreign climes

On the Piccadilly line

We were standin'

Underneath the Wrigley's sign

So far away from home

Well, I know I've got to roam

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

Just like a sailor out on the foam

Any port in a storm

Where we tend

To burn the candle at both ends

Down the corridors of fame

Like the spark ignites the flame

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

(Instrumental)

But I roll the dice again

If lady luck will call my name

That's what makes the Irish heart beat

Oh, that's what makes the Irish heart beat

One more time

That's what makes the Irish heart beat.
