I've been looking for this song for a while. It isn't the one in the DT and I can't find any discussions on it in the forum. The first verse goes something like this:

I am a roving Irishman, you need not know my name
I've traveled all around the world but none can I claim
Of all the places I have been there is none I would compare
With beautiful Blackwaterside and my friends and loved ones there

The narrator then goes on to state that, although he's been all over, Blackwaterside is still more beautiful. Then he promises that someday he's going to settle down near Blackwaterside when he's done rambling. Great song. I would really appreciate the lyrics.

I have it on a CD titled "Irish Voices:The Best in Traditional Singing" on which it was done by Sean MacDonnchadha.

Thanks you guys.
