May you have warm words on
a cold evening, A full moon on a dark night, And the road downhill
all the way to your door.
May you have food and raiment,
A soft pillow for your head, May you be forty years in heaven
Before the devil knows you're dead!
Here's to you and yours and
to mine and ours, And if mine and ours ever come across you and
yours, I hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours,
As mine and ours have done for you and yours!
May you live to be a hundred
years With one extra year to repent!
May the face of good news,
And the back of every bad news Be toward us.
May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. The sun shine warm upon your face. The rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again May God hold you in the hallow of His hand.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you
Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those who have stuck by you.
May your dreams come true,
your prayers be answered,
your friends be abundant
and as wonderful as you.
When the eagle shall nest in the hollow glen
When mountain and fen shall from mists be free
When the priests shall no longer for gold be seeking
The crow shall be speaking as plain as we
If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton,
you may as well dance with it.
'Tis better to buy a small bouque
And give to your friend this very day,
Than a bushel of roses white and red
To lay on his coffin after he's dead.
