From Clare to Here ~ The Fureys w/ Lyrics

Traditional Irish tune capturing the pulse of the Irish Exodus to America & abroad. This video is dedicated to my late Grandfather Bud Doherty. The images are of County Donegal, Ireland, our ancestral home. Cheers Doherty Clan!

FROM CLARE TO HERE

Well there's four of us who share the room, we work hard for the brass
And getting up late on Sunday, I never go to mass

(Chorus)
It's a long long way from Clare to here
It's a long long way from Clare to here
Oh, it's a long long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long long way from Clare to here

When Friday night comes around and Eddy's only in the fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing

Well it almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I promised I'd be coming back with pockets full of green

I dream I hear a piper play maybe it's emotion
I dream I see white horses dance on that other ocean

Its not a traditional Irish tune. its by a english folk singer Ralph Mctell and about some irish lads he lived with in england. the images are from all over ireland. nice video though.
