Here we go Alison, mate... Yours, Aye. Dave

The two songs I sang that are not on the DT are: Composed by Brian Connors:

CUSHENDUN BAY

When summer comes round and the day's gettin' long
And the lark in the meadow pipes up his sweet song
We go out in the mornin', We'll stay out all day
When we go out fishin' on Cushendun Bay

CHO: I've been down to Dingle and the west coast of Clare
No one denies that those places are fair
But the fairest of all. I'm right proud to say
Is that haven in Antrim called Cushendun Bay

From John of the rocks to the house at the caves
We'll search for the fish that live swim under the waves
And the longer the Conger, the better the day
When we go out fishin' on Cushendun Bay. CHO

And when we arrive at the bridge o'er the Dun
We'll share out the catch in the slow settin' sun
And a pint in McBride's will just finish the day
Or a stroll with my lass down by Cushendun Bay. CHO

Repeat first verse and chorus...

GOING HOME TO ANTRIM AGAIN

CHO: I'm goin' home to Antrim again; I'm goin' home to Antrim again
I'll see the hills near Cushendun; I'm goin' home to Antrim again

It's seven long years since I left there, but still I remember the day
The colleen who waved as I left her and told me to come home someday. CHO

I've travelled Australia all over; I've seen the wild kangaroo run
And I've stood at the harbour of Sydney, but I'd rather have wee Cushendun. CHO

On Trostan I'll stand in the evening, From there I'll look down to the sea
And I'll think of the places I've seen, But be glad that it's home I shall be. CHO
