| I hear a bird, a Londonderry bird
|
| It well may be he’s bringing me a cheering word
|
| I hear a breeze, a River Shannon breeze
|
| It well may be it’s followed me across the seas
|
| Then tell me please
|
| How are things in Glocca Morra?
|
| Is that little brook still leaping there?
|
| Does it still run down to Donny cove
|
| Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
|
| How are things in Glocca Morra?
|
| Is that willow tree still weeping there?
|
| Does that laddie with the twinkling eye come whistling by?
|
| And does she walk away
|
| Sad and dreamy there, not to see me there?
|
| So I ask each weeping willow
|
| And each brook along the way
|
| And each lad that comes a-whistling tooralay
|
| How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day?
|
| So I ask each weeping willow
|
