Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Dungarvan My Home Town
Subject: Lyr Add: WATERFORD MY HOME (from Gillespie Sisters
I found these lyrics here; I also used Wikipedia and Google Maps to check the spellings of all the place names, and I listened to the recording at YouTube to make other corrections.


WATERFORD MY HOME
As sung by the Gillespie Sisters

CHORUS: Waterford, my crystal city fair,
Waterford, there's no place to compare.
Near or far, no matter where I roam,
My heart is always with you, Waterford, my home.

1. Where the mighty Atlantic roar
Falls to silence on Tramore,
Where the Comeraghs sweep down majestically,
Where the Barrow, Suir and Nore
Combine close to Dunmore,
There between them lies a spot so dear to me. CHORUS

2. From Lismore to Cappoquin,
Through Dungarvan on to Ring,
Round Gaultier, Passage, and Cheekpoint,
Where our lovely waters meet
In a picturesque retreat,
They're all part of a spot so dear to me. CHORUS TWICE
