A cock crows A daffodil grows Another dew glazed morn A church bell rings A blackbird sings A carlow emigrant is born With footsteps of a child I leave my home behind Nastled in mount lenster standing tall It's a sign of the times my friends I have no choice But to answer this hope giving call Follow me to to wear the red yellow and green Far over the sea Follow me and by God make sure your seen Where your hearts lying somewhere in between The red yellow and green Bright lights and crowds surround me now From garry hill a far far cry But one flash in time the river burren is mine Where I went fishing as a child As it flows peacefully through priceless scenery No foreign sights compare Its a sign of the times a memory in my mind Here I am living on a prayer Follow me to wear the red yelloow and green Far over the sea Follow me and by God make sure your seen When your hearts lying somewhere in between The red yellow and green A cock crows A daffodil grows Another dew glazed morn A church bell rings A blackbird sings A carlow emigrant is born
