Thread Name: Lyr ADD: Slaney Valley
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Slaney Valley lyrics please
I have a recording of it credited to Larry Cunningham, from a tape sold by a Canadian company - various Irish artists, including Brendab Shine, Gene Stuart, Dermot Hegarty, Danny Doyle, Sean O'Se, Brian Coll, Dermot O'Brien, Philomena Begley, Barleycorn, D.J. Curtin, and Frank McCaffrey. The song on the tape is performed in kind of an American country and western style, which makes it sound a little strange, but the lyrics are almost the same as those posted by Indigo, except for the last verse.

A stoirin ban, for years you've been,
In my heart its rightful Queen,
Ever loving, ever tender, ever true,
On our hearts your smile did shine,
Gladdening all it glowed upon,
As it did when first I whispered back to you.
