(The) Green Fields Of Gaothdobhair - album "Fuaim"Down past Dunlewey's bonny
2
lakes
3
One morning I did stray,
4
Until I reached sweet Clady banks
5
where the silvery salmon play,
6
I strolled around through old Bunbeg
7
and down along the shore,
8
And gazed with admiration
9
on the green fields of Gaothdobhair.
10
I visit Magherclocher,
11
On Middletown heights I stand,
12
Beneath me lies the ocean wide,
13
and Machergallon strand,
14
Those sandy banks so dear to me,
15
Those banks I do adore,
16
Behind me lies sweet Derrybeg
17
and the green fields of Gaothdobhair.The bonny Isle of Goal
18
and Inishmean so near,
19
I see the little fishing fleet
20
as it lies along the pier,
21
I wander through the graveyard
22
where those have gone before,
23
That once lived happy and content
24
on the green fields of Gaothdobhair.
25
I see sweet Inish Oirthir,
26
and far off Tory Isle,
27
I view the ocean liners
28
as they stream along in style,
29
on board are Irish emigrants
30
with hearts both sad and sore,
31
As they gazed on old Tir Chonaill hills
32
and the green fields of Gaothdobhair.An old song in praise of the parish from
33
which we come. Cathal " baoill (Charlie Joe Thimlin) sang the words of this
34
song to us which we set to a County Derry air
