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. |
