County Down - Dänu

When you’re out walking and there’s no one near you

But a voice keeps calling and you hear your name

It’s not the leaves or the whispering breezes

It’s me that’s calling you back again

Oh, can you hear me?

Oh, can you hear me?

As you roam through lonely London town?

When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling

«Come on home now to the County Down.»

Do you remember the fiddlers playing

The songs and stories the whole night long?

‘Tis little then that you thought of leaving

It seems so strange now that you are gone

Oh, can you hear me?

Oh, can you hear me?

As you roam through lonely London town?

When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling

«Come on home now to the County Down.»

The fish are dancing on Clanrye River

The teams are sporting in old Glenvale

My heart no longer can lead the cheering

When you’re not playing, it’s a different game

Oh, can you hear me?

Oh, can you hear me?

As you roam through lonely London town?

When evening’s falling, you’ll hear me calling

«Come on home now to the County Down.»

I’m always dreaming that things are changing

And that they’re building a factory tall

And young ones needed again in Newry

But I still need you the most of all
