Road To Sligo - Folkstones

Folkstones singing Road To Sligo.

On the road into Sligo I heard a bird singing,
But I had no joy in his music at all,
For my heart was in Galway,
Along with my lover, and over my rover
I let bitter tears fall.

Oh come back to Sligo, and I'll go were you'll go,
And we'll go together when I am your own,
All the roads of the country, we'll travel forever,
And never again will I weep all alone.

On the road into Sligo with beauty about me,
The mountain the valley the wide waterfall,
But all I could see was a grey road in Galway,
And him swinging down it, so handsome and tall.

Oh come back to Sligo, and I'll go were you'll go,
And we'll go together when I am your own,
All the roads of the country, we'll travel forever,
And never again will I weep all alone.

On the road into Sligo I met happy people,
All coming and going from meek little homes
On the road into Sligo my heart stood in ruins,
But out of the ashes a new dream was born.

Oh come back to Sligo, and I'll go were you'll go,
And we'll go together when I am your own,
All the roads of the country, we'll travel forever,
And never again will I weep all alone.
