[00:00.00]Little Town In The Ould County Down - Cavan O'Connor
[00:11.61]Sure if I had the wings of a swallow
[00:16.36]I would travel far over the sea
[00:20.87]Then a rocky old road
[00:22.86]I would follow to a span
[00:25.92]That is heaven to me
[00:29.26]When the sun goes to
[00:31.10]Rest way down in the west
[00:34.69]Then I'll build such a nest
[00:37.34]In the place I love best
[00:42.92]Then the dear little town
[00:46.20]In the old county down
[00:49.19]It will linger way down in my heart
[00:54.77]Though it never was grand
[00:57.29]It is my fairy land
[01:00.38]Just a wonderful world set apart
[01:06.36]Oh my island of dreams
[01:09.40]You are with me it seems
[01:12.29]And I care not for fame or renown
[01:17.74]Like the black sheep of old
[01:21.12]I'll come back to the fold
[01:26.03]Little town in the old county down
[01:43.17]In the evening when shadows are falling
[01:48.22]'Round the old door without any key
[01:52.86]There's a voice in my dreams ever calling
[01:57.26]There are eyes ever watching for me
[02:02.02]There is someone I bless with true tenderness
[02:07.84]And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness
[02:17.02]In that dear little town
[02:20.65]In the old county down
[02:23.67]It will linger way down in my heart
[02:29.56]Though it never was grand it is my fairy land
[02:35.58]Just a wonderful world set apart
[02:41.68]Oh my island of dreams
[02:45.01]You are with me it seems
[02:48.02]And I care not for fame or renown
[02:53.68]Like the black sheep of old
[02:57.31]I'll come back to that fold
[03:03.06]Little town in the old county down
