COMING BACK TO MILTOWN

As I sit and dream in Boston
Beneath a starry sky
Memories come crowding of
The time I was a Boy
A’avale, but Paddy Lad I through
The wide wide streets of home
A carefree lad with friends galore
I was a fool to roam

(Chorus)

But now I’m coming back to Miltown
In a week i will be there
Back with the Folks I love so well
In my dear old County Clare
I love the friendly neighbors
And I’ll drink with all the boys
I want to see the sadness
Leave my dear Mothers eyes

My mother she had raised me
On her own since i was three
And it nearly broke her kindly heart
When I went across the sea
But I was young in those
far off days
All I wanted was to roam
I didn't mind the heartbreak
I caused to those back home

(Chorus as above)

Near Quilty there's a Beauty
Her name it is Eileen
And I know that she’s waiting
there for me
So no more I’ll go a roaming
In Miltown I would stay
And I’ll wed my dark eyed Beauty
Right away

(Chorus)

So now I’m coming back to Miltown
In a week i will be there
Back with the Folks i love so well
In my dear own county Clare
I love the friendly neighbors
And I’ll drink with all the boys
I want to see the sadness leave my dear Mother's eyes
