7-bar intro
Verse 1:
He left his home here in Mayo,
Said goodbye to his family and all.
He boarded a plane for the U.S.
He had to answer the call.
It was love that brought him to Texas.
It�s there he must make his home.
This beautiful blue-eyed lady
His own rose of old San Antone,
Chorus:
So tonight as the moon shines o�er Texas
And the wild cow cries all alone,
There�s a young Irish lad from Mayo
Living in old San Antone.
Verse 2:
Life there was strange to begin with.
Sometimes, he felt so alone.
He often thought of old Ireland
And his own dear West Port home,
The bay with it�s beauty and splendor,
Proud Patrick majestic and tall.
But his love for this woman from Texas
Had him say goodbye to it all;S
Repeat chorus
Break
Verse 3:
So tonight in Southeastern Texas,
Not far from the old Alamo,
He tells his children some stories
Of Ireland long, long ago.
He promises someday to take them
And see the place of his birth,
Back to the heartlands of Mayo
And that cottage that stands in the West;
Repeat chorus twice
There�s a young Irish lad from Mayo
Living in old San Antone.
