lyrics

I looked in the mirror and saw my past
A family tree that forever will last
The Hart of old Sligo, the Connors of Eire
Music and love and hearts filled with fire

The Ghosts of Ireland call me
The names and the stories of my family

The last of the kings, a Connors was he
Made to submit to the crown's tyranny
Proudly he passed his name on down
It's said that now Dennis O'Connor should be crowned

The Ghosts of Ireland call me
The names and the stories of my family

When Peter O'Connors of Thurles won gold
The flag of his country he proudly unfurled
Replacing the union jack on the pole
Showing his country his strength and his soul

The Ghosts of Ireland call me
The names and the stories of my family
