CHORUS
SHINE ON KILKENNY WE ARE YOURS
ITS HOME FOR US A
ND HOME IS WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE NEARER SHINE ON KILKENNY WE ARE YOURS
LET'S TOAST THIS LAND BENEATH LEINSTER SKY
LET'S RAISE A GLASS BOTH YOU AND I
SHINE ON KILKENNY,
KILKENNY WE ARE YOURS.
Kilkenny the Marble City, home sweet home to me
and see the lovers hand in hand as the walk along Johns Quay
then take me too its castle grounds lookin' over The Nore
flowing gracefully down to meet the River Suir
CHORUS
A county of great hurling skill the black and amber cry
to wear the jersey for the Cats is a dream for every boy
in Mooncoin where the Rose is sung an anthem for the rower
shine on Kilkenny, Kilkenny we are yours
CHORUS
Its streets are filled with memories its history still remains
in Rothe House and in Kytlers of Normans and the Danes,
catheral reaches to the sky the house of open doors,
shine on Kilkenny, Kilkenny we are yours
CHORUS recorded by THE KILKENNYS.
