The Wolfe Tones - Sweet Carnlough Bay lyrics
[The Wolfe Tones - Sweet Carnlough Bay lyrics]
When winter was brawling
O'er high hills and mountains
And dark were the clouds o'er
The deep rolling sea i spied a wee lass as
The daylight was dawning
She was asking the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay
Said I, "my wee lassie, I can well teIl you
The number of miles or how far it may be
But if you will consent
I'll convoy you a wee bit
And I'll show you the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay"
"You'll turn to the right and
Pass down by the churchyard
Cross over the river and down by the sea
We'll call at Pat Hamill's and
Have a wee drop there just to help us along
To sweet Carnlough Bay"
Here's a health to Pat Hamill
Likewise the wee lassie
And every young laddie that's
Listening to me and ne'er turn your back on
A bonnie wee lassie
When she's asking the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay
O'er high hills and mountains
And dark were the clouds o'er
The deep rolling sea i spied a wee lass as
The daylight was dawning
She was asking the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay
Said I, "my wee lassie, I can well teIl you
The number of miles or how far it may be
But if you will consent
I'll convoy you a wee bit
And I'll show you the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay"
"You'll turn to the right and
Pass down by the churchyard
Cross over the river and down by the sea
We'll call at Pat Hamill's and
Have a wee drop there just to help us along
To sweet Carnlough Bay"
Here's a health to Pat Hamill
Likewise the wee lassie
And every young laddie that's
Listening to me and ne'er turn your back on
A bonnie wee lassie
When she's asking the road
To sweet Carnlough Bay
