“Come sit down beside me for a while...”
(continued from previous page)compelled for to roam
By the laws made by man
I was driven from my home
On the shores of Lough Brann.
V
Its no matter whats my fortune
when I am far away
My thoughts shall be wafting
by night and by day.
My thoughts shall be wafting
while life holds it's span
Back to green Erin and the shores
On Lough Brann.
VI
Never more shall I wander
round Farnagh hill
And the spot I love fonder
the bounds of the mill
Its now I must love thee
when only a man
For to sever for ever from the
shores of Lough Brann.This song was composed by Tommy Hill
