Lyrics Sweet Carnlough Bay - The Wolfe Tones

Sweet Carnlough Bay

When winter was brawling, o’er high hills and mountains\nAnd dark were the clouds o’er the deep rolling sea,\nI spied a wee lass as the daylight was dawning\nShe was asking the road to sweet Carnlough Bay\nI said,"My wee lassie, I canna weel teIl ye\nThe number of miles or how far it might be\nBut if you’ll consent I’ll convoy you a wee bit\nAnd I’ll show you the road to sweet Carnlough Bay\nYou turn to the right and pass down by the churchyard\nCross over the river and down by the sea;\nWe’ll call in Pat Hamill’s and have a wee drop there\nJust to help us along to sweet Carnlough Bay\nHere’s a health to Pat Hamill likewise the wee lassie\nAnd to every laddie that’s listening to me\nAnd ne’er turn your back on a bonnie wee lassie\nWhen she’s asking the road to sweet Carnlough Bay
