From the recording Songs of Sligo
Another version and style of a song played by a country band
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Under the moonlight, the streets come alive,
In the heart of Sligo, where the good times strive.
O'Connell Street whispers tales from the past,
Cobblestones echoing memories that last.
Mullaney's Brothers, a fine store to find,
With treasures and laughter, it's one of a kind.
[Chorus]
Oh, the nights in Sligo, so warm and bright,
With friends gathered round, everything feels right.
From Gracie’s pub to the Swagman bar,
We raise a glass high, under the evening star.
[Verse 2]
At Gracie’s Pub, the music does play,
Folk songs and stories, driving worries away.
Laughter and chatter, the warmth of the crowd,
In the glow of the fire, we sing out loud.
Over at the Swagman, the drinks are so fine,
Pouring some whiskey, raising a sign.
[Chorus]
Oh, the nights in Sligo, so warm and bright,
With friends gathered round, everything feels right.
From Gracie’s pub to the Swagman bar,
We raise a glass high, under the evening star.
[Bridge]
The Garavogue's flowing, as laughter spills free,
The heart of the town, where we long to be.
From tales of old, to dreams yet to bloom,
In the streets of Sligo, we banish the gloom.
[Verse 3]
As night falls softly, the stars gleam above,
In the arms of Sligo, we feel the love.
Walking together, where shadows dance light,
In this cherished town, everything feels right.
[Chorus]
Oh, the nights in Sligo, so warm and bright,
With friends gathered round, everything feels right.
From Gracie’s pub to the Swagman bar,
We raise a glass high, under the evening star.
[Outro]
So here’s to the nights, in the heart of this place,
With stories and laughter, we find our space.
Let the streets of Sligo wrap us in their song,
In the warmth of the night, we know we belong.
