 Rate The Old House
Artist : John mcdermott
Song : The old house
Lonely I wander through scenes of my childhood
They bring back to memory the happy days of yore
Gone are the old folk, the house stands deserted
No light in the window, no welcome at the door
Here’s where the children played games on the
heather
Here’s where they sailed their wee boats on the
burn
Where are they now? some are dead, some have
wandered
No more to their home will the children return
Lonely the house now, and lonely the moorland
The children have scattered, the old folk are
gone
Why stand I here, like a ghost or a shadow?
’tis time I was movin’, ‘tis time I passed on.
