Bridie Gallagher - Lovely Inishowen

Bridie Gallagher - Lovely Inishowen

Lyrics:

You've heard about Killarney and the castle of Dunloe,
The hills of County Wicklow and the moonlight in Mayo,
There's some would say that Galway Bay is where they long to be,
But the lovely Inishowen is the only place for me.

Chorus:

From Carndonagh down to Malin town,
Culdaff and Bonagee,
Oh, the lovely Inishowen is the only place for me.

From the peaceful shores of Swilly, to the waters of the Foyle,
In the Valley of Glentogher,you may linger just a while.
But the scene that haunts my memory, when I am far away,
is a crimson sun descending down behind Trawbreaga Bay.

Chorus

Sure no matter where I wonder and wherever I may be,
Even with the sights and the wonders I may see,
I always will come back again to place I long to be,
to the lovely Inishowen, it's the only place for me.

Chorus

Oh, the lovely Inishowen is the only place for me.
