Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Coming Back to Miltown From: AmyLove Date: 06 Feb 17 - 12:15 AM Joe, this is what I found: At Irish Folk Songs : Coming Back To Miltown Song Lyrics. Collette O Sullivan - Kilfenora Ceili Band and the singer is P.J. Murrihy, this one was sent in to me from Patrick Burke, from the album Irish Folk Favourites transatlantic records. At The Jukebox Rebel in reference to The Kilfenora Céilí Band's eponymous album: A fine set of traditional jigs and reels from the 65-year-old band, best of which is the Double Jigs Medley "The Gold Ring / The Lucky Penny" which has some terrific drumming to recommend it. The grand ensemble will probably cuss me for saying so, but my two personal favourites are the contemporarily sung songs, "Belfast Town" (written by Colm Gallagher) which laments the troubles and "Coming Back To Miltown" (written by Colette O'Sullivan-Dinan), a lovely song about an ex-pat from Boston, looking forward to coming home. Miltown Malbay (sometimes spelt Milltown Malbay) is situated in West Clare and is one of Clare's musical and cultural homelands. The town is renowned for its singers, dancers and musicians – most especially the famous Willie Clancy. Each year in early July the festival 'Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy' is held in celebration of the music and tradition of Clancy. Funny enough, Willie himself was 10 years away from the place (plying his 'other' trade as a carpenter in London) and "came back to Miltown" in 1957. This was the 3rd LP from The Kilfenora Céilí Band, who were formed away back in 1909 and are still going strong today – they are a durable institution! The Jukebox Rebel 23-Jul-2010 |

Subject: Lyr Add: Coming Back to Miltown From: AmyLove Date: 04 Feb 17 - 10:58 PM As performed by Kilfenora Fiddle Ceili Band: As I sit and dream in Boston, beneath the starry skies Memories come crowding of the time I was a boy A barefoot happy lad I trod the wide, wide streets of home A carefree lad with friends galore, I was a fool to roam But now I'm comin' back to Miltown In a week I will be there Back with the folks I love so well In my dear old County Clare I love the friendly neighbors And I'll drink with all the boys I want to see the sadness Leave my dear mother's eyes My mother, she had raised me on her own since I was three And it nearly broke her kindly heart when I went across the sea But I was young in those far off days, all I wanted was to roam I didn't mind the heartbreak I caused to those back home But now I'm comin' back to Miltown In a week I will be there Back with the folks I love so well In my dear old County Clare I love the friendly neighbors And I'll drink with all the boys I want to see the sadness Leave my dear mother's eyes Near Quilty there's a beauty, her name, it is Eileen And I know that she is waiting there for me So no more I'll go a roamin', in Miltown I will stay And I'll wed my dark eyed beauty right away So now I'm comin' back to Miltown In a week I will be there Back with the folks I love so well In my dear old County Clare I love the friendly neighbors And I'll drink with all the boys I want to see the sadness Leave my dear mother's eyes |
