Christmas Carols
Christmas in Killarney

Christmas in Killarney is an Irish Christmas song written by John Redmond, James Cavanaugh and Frank Weldon. This song has been performed by many artists.

The holly green, the ivy green
The prettiest picture you’ve ever seen
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau
While cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus you know, of course
Is one of the boys from home

The door is always open
The neighbors pay a call
And Father John before he’s gone
Will bless the house and all
Our Hearts are light, our spirits bright
We’ll celebrate our joy tonight
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

We’ll decorate the Christmas tree
When all the family’s here
Around a roaring fire
We will raise a cup of cheer
There’s gifts to bring, And songs to sing
And laughs to make the rafters ring
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

How grand it feels to click your heels
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
I’m handing you no blarney
The likes you’ve never known
Is Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home

We’ll take the horse and sleigh all
Across the fields of snow
Listening to the jingle bells
Everywhere we go
How grand it feels to click your heels
And dance away to the jigs and reels
It’s Christmas in Killarney
With all of the folks at home
