Lyrics:
The Village That They Call 'The Moy'
Written and performed by Ryan Kelly

Leaving, it never is easy,
There's no place like home's what they say.
But if it's really that bad and it makes you so sad,
Sure what's the point moving away?
The old man sat down and he said with a frown,
Son it wasn't that easy for me.
The jobs they were scarce, I'd a family to rear,
That's why I'm here over the sea.

But that doesn't mean I don't miss it,
Christ, I'd sell everything that I own.
To be back as a boy in the village of Moy,
In my home in the County Tyrone.
For its there I was born and it's there I belong,
And it's there my last days I'll enjoy.
For there's no place like home in the County Tyrone,
Like in the village that they call The Moy.

There's many's a night that I lie in my bed
And I dream that I'm back there again.
Takin' a stroll over Drumgrannon's Hills
And back by The Major's Lane.
I walk the fields of Listamlet,
And Derryoghill, where I worked as a boy.
With an hour to kill, sure I'd climb Clover Hill
And look down over sweet Mullaghbuoy.

And that's when I realise I miss it
Christ, I'd sell everything that I own.
To be back as a boy in that village of Moy,
In my home in the County Tyrone.
For its there I was born and it's there I belong,
And it's there my last days I'll enjoy.
For there's no place like home in the County Tyrone,
Like in the village that they call The Moy.

It's well I remember that terrible day,
When the time came to go catch that plane
And as I stopped in the square, I stood back and I stared
At my home I may not see again.
And although it seems far from this small Boston bar,
It's never been foreign to me.
There's one thing I've learned, as far as I am concerned
It's a Moy man that I'll always be.

And everyone knows that I miss it
Christ, I'd sell everything that I own.
To be back as a boy in that village of Moy,
In my home in the County Tyrone.
For its there I was born and it's there I belong,
And it's there my last days I'll enjoy.
For there's no place like home in the County Tyrone,
Like in the village that they call The Moy.

Thank you 'chobeegal' for posting this song, it is beautiful!!! My question is forllowing: are those the real photos from Moy? Because seems like town is bigger on the video for 1200 inhabitants (that's what wiki says: 1200)

Beautiful! Song and pictures! I was listening with joy in my heart to the wonderful song and voice; and tears in my eyes as I looked at the pictures and wondering if I will ever get back to Ireland. It is such a beautiful place!
