Letra de 'First Time' de Charlie and The Bhoys

My story goes way back to the 60s
When I first went across the Irish Sea
I was on a summer break with my family
It was all so very new and strange to me.

As we settled in our digs way down in Dublin
Taking in the streets and the cobble stones
Thinking about the songs that the Irish people sing
Like Molly Malone, Sean Sabhat from Garryowen.

I remember a man and my dad talking
He was asking him were his accent was from
Then I heard him say something that I would hear again
And now I've heard it said so many times you know.

(Chorus)
He said is this the first time you've been to Ireland
I think I've seen your face before my friend you know
He said is this the first time you've been to Ireland
Well I hope we meet again before you go.

Well it took me a few years to go back there
Now I think I've been a hundred time or more
From Galway to Kilkenny and all around the coast
Everywhere I go I hear these words you know.

chorus

Now I'm sitting on a bar stool here in Glasgow
Sipping a jar and thinking about going home
Then I met a man from Ireland, he's over for the game
We got talking about the famous Celtic show

He said to me have you ever been to Ireland
Have you ever been across the Irish sea
He said to me have you ever been to Ireland
Have you ever seen the 40 shades of green

I said is this the first time you've been to Glasgow
I think I've seen your face before my friend you know
I said is this the first time you've been to Glasgow
Well I hope we meet again before you go.
