Up County Down - Van Morrison

Been, deep in the heart of Texas

Been in the heart of Down

Been up on Highway One, child

Man, I’ve been around

I’ve been there in the beginning

When twelve shillings was a pound

I’ve been here long enough to know that

What goes around just comes around

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

Is it Kathleen?

Is it Maureen?

Is It Eileen?

Is it Irene Goodnight?

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

I was playing at the Whiskey

When The Doors were opening up

Sometimes I sat there drinking

From a poisoned cup

Somebody told me about a garden

I was headed towards the beach

Back then it seemed the Holy Grail

Was always out of reach

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

Is it Kathleen?

Is it Maureen?

Is It Eileen?

Singing Irene Goodnight

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well you meet the same people on the way up

As you do on the way down

There’s always somebody trying

To steal somebody else’s crown

When you lose your point of reference

And it goes, nothing more to know

Got to go right back to where those

Healing waters flow

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

Is it Kathleen?

Is it Maureen?

Is It Eileen?

Singing Irene Goodnight

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

Well I may as well be

In the County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down

I’m going down, County Up

I’m going up, County Down
