Текст пісні
Sure if I had the wings of a swallow
I would travel far over the sea
Then a rocky old road I would follow
To a spot that is heaven to me
When the sun goes to rest way down in the west
Then I'll build such a nest in the place I love best
In that dear little town in the old county down
It will linger way down in my heart
Though it never was grand, sure it's my fairy land
Just a wonderful world set apart
Oh, my island of dreams, you are with me it seems
But I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old county down
In the evening when shadows are falling
Round the old door without any key
There's a voice in my dreams ever calling
There are eyes ever watching for me
There is someone I've left with a true tenderness
And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness
In that dear little town in the old county down
It will linger way down in my heart
Though it never was grand, sure it's my fairy land
Just a wonderful world set apart
Oh, my island of dreams, you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old county down
Little town in the old county down
