Hi, does any body know the name of the song and the full lyrics. I know as much:

Oh, if I had the wings of a swallow, I would fly right over the sea That rocky old road I would follow, to a land that is heaven to me. Way down in the west, where the sun sinks to rest I'll bulid me a nest In a dear little town in the old county down........

I could not find it in the database

And do you know if Chris Barber has ever recorded it ??

Thanks for your attention

Inger, I don't think I Wish I Had Someone to Love Me is the song you're looking for, but I thought the similarities were interesting.

Is this the original of the song they sing at soccer games?
