Emerald City Letra

you in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon
hand to me my glass and spoon
my only delight is in being with you
again in the Emerald City

well with pikes we dug out the Erie Canal
with the Chinamen we layed the railroad as well
on our west ward way to dwell
In the Emerald City

To southside stockyards southside steel
A city built on Irish will
who all came here with dreams to fill
in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon
hand to me my glass and spoon
my only delight is in being with you
again in the Emerald City

now everyone was wearing Green
down Western Avenue we were seen
and my friends they fill my memories
all along the way

well I kissed my girl and fell in love
in the front room of Christina's pub
and in my mind I walk her home
now and forever more

then you were born , born here to me
and you mean everything to me
and no matter what I'll always be
with you in the Emerald City

Chicago can be very cold
It's a bitter land of frost and snow
But's where my eyes did first behold
you in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon
hand to me my glass and spoon
my only delight is in being with you
again in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon
hand to me my glass and spoon
my only delight is in being with you
again in the Emerald City

Stay with me this afternoon
hand to me my glass and spoon
my only delight is in being with you
again in the Emerald City
