Текст песни Back to Castleblayney - Live - Big Tom

I said farewell to dear old dad and kissed my mother goodbye
Then turned away before did see the tears form in my eyes
Along the winding leafy lane where in childhood we would play
With heartache and old memories I sadly made my way.

So many folks have left their homes through strife and poverty
Yet somehow we could struggle by, just mother dad and me,
But things went wrong between me and the girl I called my own
And I left Castleblaney, my own people and my home.

I visualized the hedge-rows on the road I used to go
I see the town of Blaney and the Lakes Of Lough Knock Muckno
Around the old Hope Castle where so often I would roam,
I dream of Castleblaney my old people and my home.

The harbour lights are fading as I leave this foreign shore
And I watched the dark horizon that I mean to see no more
To the land that holds the legend of the fairy and the gnome,
Going back to Castleblaney my old people and my home
Back to Castleblaney my old people and my home
