Waterford

I've wandered over land and sea
i've travelled far and near,
i've seen the sights and neon lights
of cities that i hold dear,
and know the hour has come at last
and it's time for me to go,
and to see again my homeland
that i left so long ago.

chorus:

oh the comeragh mountains looked so grand
on that quiet afternoon,
and the birds were singing in the trees
and the flowers they were in bloom,
i heard the whisper of the wind
through the golden fields of corn,
and the sun shone down on waterford
the place where i was born.

I saw christchurch cathedral
and the city it looked so grand,
and kilmacthomas and portlaw
bonmahon and tramore strand,
we sang the old dungarvan oak
and we made the rafters ring,
then i headed down to sweet lismore
and to lovely capppoquin

chorus

Now it's grand to be back home again
with the friends that i once knew,
and to see the DEISE boys and girls
in the colours white and blue,
and as proud i am as any man
who loves his nativeshore,
now i'll settle in my aglish home
and i never more will roam.

chorus.
