Subject: Lyr Add: THE STONE OUTSIDE DAN MURPHY'S DOOR
I just copied the lyrics from the version I have by Foster and Allen, hope they will do,
THE STONE OUTSIDE DAN MURPHY'S DOOR As recorded by Foster & Allen
1. There's a sweet garden spot in our mem'ry. It's the place we were born and reared. 'Tis long years ago since we left it, But return there we will if we're spared. Our friends and companions of childhood Would assemble each night near the store. Round Dan Murphy's shop, oh, how often we've sat On the stone that stood outside his door!
CHORUS: Those days in our hearts we will cherish, Contented although we were poor, And the songs that were sung In the days we were young On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door.
2. When our day's work was over, we'd meet there, In the winter or spring the same. The boys and the girls all together Would join in some innocent game. Dan Murphy would bring down his fiddle While his daughters looked after the store. The music would ring and sweet songs we would sing On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door. CHORUS
3. Back again will our thoughts often wander To the scenes of our childhood's home, The friends and companions we left there. It was poverty caused us to roam. Since then in this life we have prospered, But now still in our hearts we feel sure, For mem'ries will fly to the days gone by, And the stone outside Dan Murphy's door. CHORUS
