Lyrics
Chorus:
Jerry, wild as any huckleberry
Cheeks as red as any cherry
And eyes of true blue
Jerry, tell me why you are contrary
You know you promised
When you warra warrior in the war
A warrior yes indeed you warra, Jerry
If you have to take a ferry
Come on back to County Kerry
Irelands waiting for you
The Shannon ripples a rhyme
It’s calling you all the time
We’ll be merry when Jerry comes home
