john spillane - carolan lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
two hors+m+n riding through the glen
one rides ahead one rides behind
the man who rides ahead can see
the man who rides behind is blind
and on his back a leather sack
and in that sack a willow harp, a willow harp

[chorus]
carolan, carolan
god cried tears of sorrow
god cried tears of joy
and the gift of melody was given
to a young blind boy

[verse 2]
two hors+m+n riding through a leitrim glen
and the greenwood ringing
and they laughing and singing
for it was here in mohill town
carolan you settled down
and raised your little family
and many a golden melody
that will live forever in the hearts of men

[chorus]
carolan, carolan
god cried tears of sorrow
his angels cried tears of joy
and the gift of melody was given
to a young blind boy
[verse 3]
the birds are singing round lough rynne
longaire cuach agus scol an loin sa ghleann
the birds are singing round lough lynne
how do they sing in heaven carolan?
many the pretty tune you wrote upon the b+ttons of your coat carolan

[chorus]
carolan, carolan
god cried tears of sorrow
his mother cried tears of joy
and the gift of melody was given
to a young blind boy

[outro]
many the pretty tune you wrote
upon the b+ttons of your coat, carolan
we still remember you here
no+one came near you carolan
two hors+m+n riding through the glen
one rides ahead one rides behind
the man who rides ahead can see
the man who rides behind is blind
