Artist : Nitty gritty dirt band
Song : Killybegs
My heart was warm with family love as I slipped
into a chair
Beside my uncle john, my daughters ’cross the
table there
I’d walked the docks in misty rain, a pain was in
my legs
But I’d seen the dream of kinsmen in the boats of
killybegs
The banter of my uncle and my daughters filled
the air and the gunning brothers? next to us were
glad that we were there
I was kind of quiet listening at the window
ledge
For the music of the harbor, the birds of
killybegs
Down the coast not far was galway land of joys
and kinnamar? at their supper and asleep we would
visit? there tomorrow
I worried if my words would e’er be sung by
irishmen
Or out here on the docks? ?
Like the fish of killybegs
A radio was playing though we never heard a word
But the rhythm of the music was familiar if
absurd and harkning intensity? for silence did I
beg
Oh what a song was playing in the air of
killybegs
I couldn’t quite believe it for it sounded rather
strange
The instruments were different and the key had
been changed
I reached to turn the volume up then teetered on
my legs
A girl from tipperary sang my song in killybegs
