The Winding River Roe

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Some poets sing of a noble king, Or of a sweetheart fair. Some tell a tale of ships that sail With treasures rich and rare. But my humble pen still drifts again To scenes of long ago; Across the sea to the Benedy And the winding river roe. Right well do I remember now Those happy childhood days. And the times I had when just a lad, On Carn's lovely braes. And when my mind is thus inclined No other joys I know, For my heart remains on the verdant plains Near the winding river roe. Benbradagh's crown o'er Dungiven town, Is still within my view And the Benedy glen I worshiped then Still lives in memory too. The beautiful scene of Cashel Green Still haunts wherever I go. And in all my dreams, I see it seems The winding river roe. If fortunes smiles on me awhile, I would cross the sea again, And all these years of toil and tears Will be forgotten then. And when at last my life has passed, Contentedly I'll go across the sea To the Benedy And the winding river roe.
