Thread Name: Lyr Req: My dear Irish home
Subject: ADD: County of Armagh
Eileen, can you give us any more of the song?
Here's one:
County of Armagh (which is not far from Donegal)
There's one fair county in Ireland with mem'ries so glorious and grand where nature has lavished its bounty it's the orchard of Erin's green land I love her cathedrals and cities once founded by Patrick so true and it holds in the heart of its bossom the ashes of Brian Boru
CHORUS It's my dear Irish home, far across the foam although I've often left her in foreign lands to roam no matter where I wander in cities near or far sure my heart belongs in old Ireland in the County of Armagh
I've wandered a part of the county through Newtown, Forkhill, Crossmaglen around by the gap of Mount Morris and back by Black Water again where the girls are so gay and so hearty the finest in Erin Go Bragh Ah but where are the boys who will court them The boys from the County Armagh CHORUS
