The Green Fields of Gaothdobhair |
Down past Dunlewey’s bonny lakes one morning I did stray |
Until I reached sweet Clady banks where the silvery salmon play |
I strolled around through old Bunbeg and down along the shore |
And gazed with admiration on the green fields of Gaothdobhair |
I visit Magherclocher on Middletown heights I stand |
Beneath me lies the ocean wide and Machergallon strand |
Those sandy banks so dear to me, those banks I do adore |
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg and the green fields of Gaothdobhair |
The bonny Isle of Gola and Inishmean so near |
I see the little fishing fleet as it lies along the pier |
I wander through the graveyard where those have gone before |
That once lived happy and content by the green fields of Gaothdobhair |
I see sweet Inish Oirthir and far off Tory Isle |
I view the ocean liners as they steam along in style |
On board are Irish emigrants with hearts both sad and sore |
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills and the green fields of Gaothdobhair |
