Thread Name: Help: Marry me in Ballyferriter?
Subject: Marry me in Ballyferriter?
I was told there was a song referring to Ballyferriter, co Kerry, Ireland that came from a poem by Peter Golden - the title of the poem was something like "I Dreamt a Dream" or "Dream of Country Life" The original poem has 12 verses at about nine lines per verse.

These may be some of the lines:

The trip is o'er, the storm is past,
And we are safe arrived at last,
And far from thee, a shore, I stand
Once more upon a foreign land,
But though the seas between us roll
I love thee still, my Soul, my Soul,
And dream my dream of better,
You take me home and
Marry me at Ballyferriter.

Thanks in advance,
Mary
