Subject: Lyr Add: SHORES OF LOCH BRAN (from Dolores Keane)
I believe one of the songs you want is "The Shores of Loch Bran". It was recorded by Dolores Keane.
THE SHORES OF LOCH BRAN
Dolores Keane
Sit you down, loyal comrades
Sit you down for awhile
'Til I spend my last hours
Around Erin's green isle
Come fill up your glasses
And we'll drink hand in hand
For tomorrow I'll be leavin'
The shores of Logh Bran
There's my father and mother
You can now hear them cry
With their tears, be willin'
Would moisten your eye
But I will assist them
Please, God, if I can
Far away from lovely Erin
And the shores of Loch Bran
In the end, come in mourning
I will bid you adieu
To (Lithra, Drum Shamble)
And sweet Kerry too
But no matter what fortune
I might make far away
My thoughts shall be with you
By night and by day
My thoughts shall be with you
While ice course is spanned
Far away from lovely Erin
And the shores of Loch Bran
