  1. Song of Banada

    Share Share Post
    There is a dear home that I left behind me.
    Far beyond the green mountains in Ireland some where.
    Its the home of my childhood where I roamed and rambled.
    Banada a coshla my heart travels there.
    O Banada mavoureen theres one heart that loves you.
    Your charming old beauty again I can see.
    As I lay down to slumber in a far foreign pillow
    I dream of you Banada a cushla mo croidhe.
    Chorus
    Farewell: lovely Banada: farewell to the Shamrock.
