paul kelly - town of carraroe lyrics
when i was young and in my prime i thought i’d like to roam
like many’s a fine young irishman i left my native home
i crossed the broad atlantic onto the yankee sh-r-
and i left my heart in galway in the town of carraroe
when i came to philadelphia and i found my new abode
my friends they came to meet me and they treated me like gold
the stars and stripes were all my pride but still the tears did flow
for i missed the girl i left behind in the town of carraroe
my native town is of a high renown and it’s beauty to be seen
the buildings are all great and tall and the trees are ever green
the little birds sing dearly there and the cuckoo never owns
for she’s quiet at home and happy in the town of carraroe
there’s a photo for the strangers there all in the summertime
and during their long holidays with us they do reside
we greet the weary wanderer and share our happy homes
for we’re proud and independent in the town of carraroe
and we played our gaelic football games on sunday afternoons
we have of ceili dances at the rising of the moon
there’s loads of hospitality no matter where you roam
for we’re quiet at home and happy in the town of carraroe
