A VILLAGE IN COUNTY TYRONE

 

                       SPERRIN MOUNTAINS . COUNTY TYRONE

 
I was dreaming last night of old Ireland
A place where i once had a home
not in Dublin Killlarney or Derry
but a village in County Tyrone
 
I can still see the stream flowing down cairn Glen
on a hill just beside it there are still fairy men
I often saw them not far from my home
sure they are part of the splendour in County Tyrone
 
Oh Ireland has many fair Counties
But an exile still dreams of his own
Not in Dublin killarney or Derry
But a village in County Tyrone
 
I can still see the cross on a hill at altmore
With a little green moss winding round past the door
An old ruined Castle stands out on its own
For theres Castles galore in county Tyrone

Yes im dreaming of Ireland and County Tyrone
