Hero From The Emerald Isle

Hero from the Emerald Isle Celtic style,
Guitar man, hey there.
With a smile in his eye his licks full of spirit,
He took his guitar to the towns that would hear it,
Hey there Rory.
No one can play like him.
No one will ever play like him.
Hey there, I said no one, no one, not one, not one.

He's traveled down through many lands.
He always takes the time to shake the hands of his fans.
He's a gentlemen.
When he jams at a gig the Irish are proud,
Of this peoples guitarist.
Turn him way up loud. Hey there Rory.

No one can play like him.
No one will ever play like him.
Hey there, I said no one, no one, not one, not one.

Twas quite an honor a privilege for me.
You played with such integrity.
Hey there Rory.
I'm still on such a high,
I'll count the years till you stop back by.
Hey there Rory. Hey there Rory. Hey there Rory.
