Down by the Laganside - The Irish Rovers

Well I thought she was a vision

That stopped me with her smile

Down by the river

We walked along in style

She says you’re welcome back again

And won’t you stay awhile

Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we’ll dance together

When we cry, we’ll hold each other

And when we love, we’ll love forever

Down by the Lagan side

I said who owns that music

So full of joy and pain

That the pipers and the harpers

And the lambeg drummers play

She said who owns the teardrops

Falling in the rain

Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we’ll dance together

When we cry, we’ll hold each other

And when we love, we’ll love forever

Down by the Lagan side

And do you not remember

We once walked side by side

And the bells of Belfast city

Sang in harmony and pride

The past it has been taken

But the future’s yours and mine

Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we’ll dance together

When we cry, we’ll hold each other

And when we love, we’ll love forever

Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we’ll dance together

When we cry, we’ll hold each other

And when we love, we’ll love forever

Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we’ll dance together

When we cry, we’ll hold each other

And when we love, we’ll love forever

Down by the Lagan side
