Greetings from VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA – “The Land of the Irish Miner” “ODE TO THE IRISH MINER” There’s a mountain in Nevada Where the Shamrocks cannot grow Where the Leprechauns hid their treasure Three thousand feet below But O’Reilly and McLaughlin With a bit of Irish luck And “Old Virginia” Finney Stumbled in the muck They found the buried treasure and in Eire the tale was told and a thousand eager Irishmen arrived to dig for gold The West has many heroes Courageous, Brave, and Grand But the great Bonanza Kings All came from Ireland And back among the Shamrocks The Leprechauns still say That they up and lost their treasure on a mountain far away. |
