the irish brigade - city of chicago lyrics

[chorus]
in the city of chicago
as evening shadows fall
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal

[verse 1]
1847 was the year it all began
deadly pains of hunger
drove a million from the land
they journeyed not for glory
their motive was not greed
of all each was survival across the stormy seas
[chorus]
to that city of chicago
as evening shadows fall
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal

[verse 2]
well some of them knew fortune
some of thеm knew fame
more of thеm knew hardship
and died upon the plain
they spread throughout the nation
rode the railroad cars
brought their songs and music to ease their lonely hearts

[chorus]
to that city of chicago
as evening shadows fall
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal

[verse 3]
1847 was the year it all began
deadly pains of hunger
drove a million from the land
they journeyed not for glory
their motive was not greed
of all each was survival across the stormy seas
[chorus]
to that city of chicago
as evening shadows fall
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal
in that city of chicago
as evening shadows fall
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal
there are people dreaming
of the hills of donegal
