There's a spot in the Decies A place dear to me
Where the Comeraghs are keeping A watch o'er the sea
And though far have I wandered Yet wherever I roam
It's the place I love dearest The place I call home
Chorus:
Dungarvan my home town
I love best of all
Dear old faces and places
Sure oft I recall
In my heart I keep wishing
Some day I will be
Back again in Dungarvan
My home by the sea
On the bridge I will wander At sweet evening time
Just to gaze o'er the waters At old Abbeyside
Happy memories come stealing As the soft shadows fall
On the fishing boats anchored There beside the quay wall
I have seen fairest places But I'd rather be
Where the Cunnigar's sleeping 'Neath hills dear to me
And across the blue water Of that quiet little bay
Dear old Helvick is dreaming In her bonnet of grey
How I treasured each token Of days that I knew
In that town of sweet memories Where the friends are so true
And I thank God in heaven For choosing me
My old home Dungarvan My home by the sea
