    “If you listen a while”

    Share Share Post
    If you listen a while
    I'll sing to you
    The praises and renown of a neat and pleasant Country
    Not far from Charlestown
    With shady groves
    And pleasant walk, I've rambled
    over and over
    and the beauties I will never forget
    of charming sweet Cloonmore
    Cloon-more it is a pretty place
    Where the jovial boys are gay
    and the cailins they assemble
    To hear the fiddles play
    and when the Irish gig begins
    See how they tip the floor
    Oh its my delight on a
    Winters night to visit sweet Cloon-more
