Burl Ives - Girls of Coleraine lyrics

[Burl Ives - Girls of Coleraine lyrics]

Theres a sweet little spot in
The county of Derry
If ever you go there you’ll want to remain
You may travel old ireland
From Antrim to Kerry
And not find a spot like
The town of Coleraine

Sure the boys and the girls
Never seem there to alter
Its go where you will
Sure there always the same
And if ever your wanting a ripe hardy welcome
Just come to the sweet
Little town of Coleraine

You may talk of your sportin
Through the sweetlin of Gorgon
With Minny and Lizzy and Cathy and Jane
But more famous and pretty is our only kitty
Who tripped with her pitcher through


The fair of Coleraine

Oh the girls from Killiney will
Fill you with blarney
The talk of their beauty
Would drive you insane
And the girls from the city
Tho they think themselves pretty
Could never compare with the
Girls of Coleraine

Though im here in this strange land
My heart is is Ireland
And in that dear spot it will always remain
Not in Galway nor Kerry nor the city of Derry
But where i was born
The wee town of Coleraine

Oh my star of the north
Shining on yawn van waters
I wonder if i’ll ever see you again
May good fortune shine down on
The sons and the daughters
That come from the sweet
Little town of Coleraine
