O sweet Kilglass, none can surpass. My heart still bleeds for thee, In that dear home where I used to roam When I was young and free. Great houses stand in a far-off land. Sure there's no place can surpass My Irish home, dear Inishcrone, And the green fields round Kilglass. I remember well in harvest time On a dull and dreary day, While leaving home near Inishcrone To wander far away, My friends came down from Culleens town, And so, my darlin' lass, I heaved a sigh and said goodbye To the green fields round Kilglass. From Ballina Quay we sailed away. Myself could not enjoy. We stood to wave a last farewell As we sailed down the Moy. We stood to wave a last farewell As by the shores we passed. May the heav'n shine bright both day and night On the green fields round Kilglass. [The places mentioned here can be seen in this map.] |
