charlie mcgettigan - bailieboro and me lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i once knew a lad of this country
he cherished the place he came from
where it seemed like the sun shone on every tomorrow
and laughter was in everyone

[verse 2]
and the smile that came over his sad face
when thoughts of it came to his mind
would brighten dark corners in this lonely city
whenever we felt too refined [?]

[chorus]
he said “i’m from bailieboro
land of my childhood dreams
bailieboro
calling me home
bailieboro
one day i’ll take you there
we’re close as the shore and the sea
bailieboro and me”

[verse 3]
he talked on the heathery hillsides
where the wild+looking pheasant would fly
with his dog and his gun
he would stroll out, believe me
away from the world rushing by
[verse 4]
though he spent pleasant evenings in dublin
i knew they could never compare
with the fond recreation
he found down in cavan
where he always longed to repair [?], repair to

[chorus]
bailieboro
land of my childhood dreams
bailieboro
calling me home
bailieboro
one day i’ll take you there
we’re close as the shore and the sea
bailieboro and me”

[verse 5]
i haven’t laid eyes on him lately
our paths have gone different ways
but i wonder if he ever settled in [?]
or travelled the road to [?]

[verse 6]
do his thoughts ramble on to virginia?
is he finally there with his own?
oh the pictures he painted
of loving trips homeward
to harvest the seeds he had sown, sown in
[chorus]
bailieboro
land of my childhood dreams
bailieboro
calling me home
bailieboro
one day i’ll take you there
we’re close as the shore and the sea
bailieboro and me”
