| When you’re out walking and there’s no one near you
|
| But a voice keeps calling and you hear your name
|
| It’s not the leaves or the whispering breezes
|
| It’s me that’s calling you back again
|
| Oh, can you hear me? |
| Oh, can you hear me?
|
| As you roam through lonely London town?
|
| When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling
|
| «Come on home now to the County Down.»
|
| Do you remember the fiddlers playing
|
| The songs and stories the whole night long?
|
| ‘Tis little then that you thought of leaving
|
| It seems so strange now that you are gone
|
| Oh, can you hear me? |
| Oh, can you hear me?
|
| As you roam through lonely London town?
|
| When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling
|
| «Come on home now to the County Down.»
|
| The fish are dancing on Clanrye River
|
| The teams are sporting in old Glenvale
|
| My heart no longer can lead the cheering
|
| When you’re not playing, it’s a different game
|
| Oh, can you hear me? |
| Oh, can you hear me?
|
| As you roam through lonely London town?
|
| When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling
|
| «Come on home now to the County Down.»
|
| I’m always dreaming that things are changing
|
| And that they’re building a factory tall
|
| And young ones needed again in Newry
|
| But I still need you the most of all |
