Much have I travelled, many sights I have seen

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Old Sligo Home From: MartinRyan Date: 02 Jun 00 - 05:32 AM I reckon "hazenwood" is a typo for "hazel wood" - even if a meadow is a strange place to find them! "Knocknarea" is, I think, the nearer the correct spelling for a nearby mountain. Regards |
Subject: Lyr Add: MY OLD SLIGO HOME From: Brakn Date: 05 Mar 08 - 06:30 AM refreshed to add corrections Much have I travelled, many sights I have seen Since I left my home in, that island of green From London to Boston, wherever I roam I long to return to, My Old Sligo Home How joyful that good day, that we all spent As we walked by Glencar, so happy and content In hazel wood meadows, I oft walked alone Mid scene's of contentment, near My Old Sligo Home For the bright lights of London, are pretty to see And the sidewalks of New York, are so grand to me But I'd change it all, and never more roam To take the road westward, to My Old Sligo Home To see great Benbulben and the high Knockneray And the sun reclining, o'er sweet Sligo Bay The Garavogue river blows out to the foam Amidst the green hillsides near My Old Sligo Home Farewell to that old home, and the kind folks I knew Every song and story, with hearts loyal and true Some day I will wander, back home across the foam To take the road westward, to My Old Sligo Home For the bright lights of London, are pretty to see And the sidewalks of New York, are so grand to me But I'd change it all, and never more roam To take the road westward, to My Old Sligo Home To take the road westward, to My Old Sligo Home |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Old Sligo Home From: GUEST,John Feltus Date: 28 Jul 21 - 03:53 PM My Old Sligo Home Words and music composed and written by Michael Maloney Much have I travelled, many sights I have seen, Since I left my home in that island of green. From London to Boston and wherever I roam, I long to return to my Old Sligo Home. How Joyful that good day that we all spent, As we walked by Glencar so happy and content. In Hazelwood Meadows I oft walked alone, Mid scenes of contentment near my Old Sligo Home. Chorus For the bright lights of London are pretty to see. And the sidewalks of New York are so grand to me. Someday I will travel back home cross the foam. To take the road Westward to my Old Sligo Home To see grey Benbulben and the high Knocknarea. And the sun declining o'er sweet Sligo Bay. The Garavogue River flows out to the foam. Amidst the green hillsides near my Old Sligo Home. Farewell to that old home and the kind folks I knew. Every song and story with friends kind and true. I'll change it all, no more shall I roam. To take the road Westward to my Old Sligo Home. Chorus For the bright lights of London are pretty to see. And the sidewalks of New York are so grand to me. Someday I will travel back home cross the foam. To take the road Westward to my Old Sligo Home. |
