From the recording Songs of Sligo
Sligo Town you never let me down ..... these were the first ever words I wrote to begin with ..... It all started woth this song .... and the rest of them just followed .... and turned into an album ...well ...
Lyrics
In the heart of the west, where the rivers flow,
Sligo town's calling, and it's time I go.
With mountains so high and the sea so blue,
Every road leads me back to you.
From the bustling streets to the gentle breeze,
This lovely Ireland puts my heart at ease.
Sligo town, you never let me down,
With your orange, white, and green, I wear the crown.
Through the laughter and the tears, I'll find my way,
Here I am to stay, my lovely Ireland, come what may.
Walking by the coast where the wild waves crash,
The spirit of my homeland flows in every splash.
Traditions run deep like the rivers that wind,
In every friendly face, my heart you’ll find.
The music and the stories shared by the fire,
Fuel my soul with dreams and endless desire.
Sligo town, you never let me down,
With your orange, white, and green, I wear the crown.
Through the laughter and the tears, I'll find my way,
Here I am to stay, my lovely Ireland, come what may.
Underneath the stars, with the moon shining bright,
I’ll dance through the night, everything feels right.
With every step I take on this sacred ground,
Sligo town, it’s you who’s always been around.
Sligo town, you never let me down,
With your orange, white, and green, I wear the crown.
Through the laughter and the tears, I'll find my way,
Here I am to stay, my lovely Ireland, come what may.
So raise a glass to the memories we’ll make,
In Sligo town, my heart won’t ever break.
With every rising sun, it’s clear to see,
This lovely land is where I’m meant to be.
