Migration: journeys to a new life

New beginning (doc B, p.200)

Ellis Island
On the second Sunday Sing we'll go back someday
Annie be my guide Sing we will belong
Liberty's a welcome Sing out Ellis Island
To an aching eye Sing we're not alone
We'll grow up together Sing we'll go back someday
Far away from home Sing we will belong
Crossed the sea and ocean Sing we will belong
To the land of hope
Kingstown to Liverpool
Crossing the Irish Sea
You gotta keep your wits on you
Where you lay your head
Six minute medical
Leaving no chalk on me
Goodbye, Ellis Island, hello land of free
Every man and woman
Every girl and boy
Sing out Ellis Island
Sing a song of hope
Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong
When the leaves are falling
Sky is upon the ground
We will come together
And sing of Ireland
Thanking Ellis Island
Thank you, USA
You gave us a home here
Crying, a brand-new day
Queenstown to New York bay
Wild Atlantic Ocean
You gotta keep your wits on you
Where you lay your head
Six minute medical
Leaving no chalk on me
Goodbye, Ellis Island, hello land of free
Every man and woman
Every girl and boy
Sing out Ellis Island
Sing a song of hope
Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
Sing we'll go back someday
Sing we will belong
Sing for us together
Sing we're not alone
