“I am watching I am waiting where the green grass grows”
I am watching I am waiting
Where the green grass grows
Its a pathway that lead to Oldcastle
Where the dewdrop hangs down from the rose
Since the day that we parted
I'm lonely
The day that I bade you adieu
When the sun shone down in its glory
On the mountains of lovely Loughcrew.Come back to the mountains Oh come back to me
Come back to the mountains across the blue sea
The wild birds are whistling a welcome to you
Come back to the mountains of Lovely LoughcrewCome back to Oldcastle at the close of day
When the blackbirds are singing and the lambs are at play
And the fox from his den by the pathway is stealing
To scare off the plover and the wild curlewe
From the home in old Teltown or lovely Loughcrew- Collector
