Limerick You're a Lady lyrics and music composed by Denis Allen

Lyrics

Limerick You're a Lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flows
the beauty that surrounds you
I take it with me love where e're I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
then Limerick You're my Lady
the one true love that I have ever known

As children you and I spent endless days of fun
in winter snows or summer's golden sun
we fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams
was fashioned by your loveliness
and so now I have to say

Limerick You're a Lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flows
the beauty that surrounds you
I take it with me love where e're I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
then Limerick You're my Lady
the one true love that I have ever known

A gift that time has made for travelers on their way
seeking out the beauty of our land
a shrine where children play
and bells ring out to say
thank God that we're alive to see the freedom of each day

Limerick You're a Lady
your Shannon waters tears of joy that flows
the beauty that surrounds you
I take it with me love where e're I go
While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
then Limerick You're my Lady
the one true love that I have ever known

While waking in the arms of distant waters
a new day finds me far away from home
then Limerick You're my Lady
the one true love that I have ever known

the one true love that I have ever known

Other Lyric Versions
Oh then Limerick is beautiful as everybody knows
the River Shannon full of fish beside that city flows
'Tis not the river nor that fish that preys upon my mind
Nor with the town of Limerick I have any fault to find

'Tis not for Limerick that I sigh Though I love her in my soul
Though times will change and friends will die and man will not control
No not for friends long passed away or days forever flown
But that the maiden I adore Is sad in Garryowen

Oh she I love is Beautiful and world wide is her fame
She swells down by the rushing tide and Erie is her name
and dearer than my very life her glances are to me
the light that guides my weary soul across the stormy sea

I loved her in my boyhood and now in manhood's noon
the vision of my life is still to dry thy tears aroon
I'd sing unto the tomb or dance beneath the gallows tree
to see her on the hills once more proud, passionate and free

Limerick was always a great city in Ireland. Gotta love it.

Great characters with great humour, a river runs through it, ... and all with 1200 years of history behind it!

Limerick city kid, pure cool!!!

Pity you did na show St. Mary's Cathedral which was built in 1168 - I think it predates King John's Castle.

Does anyone in Limerick know of a Dan Clearey? He was a good friend of mine over fifty years ago!
