Chorus Farewell to the town of Galway Connemara and Oranmore Goodbye Barna, Rosmuck and Carna I am bound for a foreign shore Oh my name it is Patrick Furey I love my country and liberty But I fought for the things I love And so an exile I must be Oh my Mary, my darlin' girl Shall I ever see you more My heart grieves me, for I must leave thee I am bound for a foreign shore Chorus But there's one thing I know for certain That someday I will return To my friends and my companions In the place where I was born I'll come back to the town of Galway Connemara and Oranmore Home to Barna, Rosmuck and Carna There to dwell for ever more regards Mick Bracken |

15 Sep 04 - 07:19 PM (#1272894) Subject: RE: Farewell to Galway - Thanks Mick From: GUEST,Eric Olsen I heard 2 verses on a little tape of pub songs called '50 Irish Pub Songs' by the Sean O'Neill Band but have been all over the internet and irish song books looking for the complete lyric with no luck. The only other recording that I have run across is by Paddy Noonan called 'Portrait in Green' and I was ready to buy that just for the lyrics to this one song. I did not know of the Dermot O'Brien recording before reading this posting. Thank you Mick for putting up the lyrics - where did you learn them or find them? Eric Olsen |

But theres one thing i know for certain, that one day i will return, to my freinds and my companions in the place where i was born. Ill come back to the town of Galway Connemara and Oranmore. Home to Bearna Rosmuck and Carna There to dwell forever more. Brigid |
