ROAD TO SLIGO
As sung by Folkstone

1. On the road into Sligo I heard a bird singing,
But I had no joy in his music at all,
For my heart was in Galway, along with my lover,
And over my rover I let bitter tears fall.

CHORUS: Oh, come back to Sligo, and I'll go where you'll go,
And we'll go together when I am your own.
All the roads of the country we'll travel forever,
And never again will I weep all alone.

2. On the road into Sligo, with beauty about me,
The mountain, the valley, the wide waterfall,
But all I could see was a grey road in Galway,
And him swinging down it, so handsome and tall.

3. On the road into Sligo I met happy people,
All coming and going from meek little homes.
On the road into Sligo my heart stood in ruins,
But out of the ashes a new dream was born.
