I crossed the River Liffey bridge and went on up the town[00:00:06]
By Coffey's clock twas plain to see how time was moving on[00:00:13]
Past Neeson's and John Johnson's Tommy Tougher's and Keadeen[00:00:20]
How's it going said Paddy Dolan game ball said Skinner Behan[00:00:27]
The morning hooter called the workers to the factory line[00:00:35]
To weave the bales of sisal into rope and binder twine[00:00:42]
Beneath the weeping ash I heard Jack Lawlor's anvil ring[00:00:49]
Back down the town in Cummins's heard John McCormack sing[00:00:56]
From Hawkfield and Kilbelin Chinatown and Rosy's Lane[00:01:03]
Scattered round the world we dreamt of coming home again[00:01:11]
From the Rocks of Sydney Harbour the Bronx and Birmingham[00:01:18]
To the Sandy Hills the seven Springs the waters of the Fen[00:01:25]
Walking down the Moorefield road my father tellin' me[00:01:35]
Of the Corbally eviction back in 1953[00:01:42]
The story of Clongorey the hunger and despair[00:01:50]
Gone but not forgotten in the history of Kildare[00:01:57]
To stand upon the Gibbet Rath I walked along the plains[00:02:04]
By Donnelly's Hollow heard the keening of the Curragh Wrens[00:02:11]
Black Tans in the Barracks as young rebels crossed the fields[00:02:18]
From the back lanes and the boreens came Sheahans and O'Neills[00:02:25]
From Hawkfield and Kilbelin Chinatown and Rosy's Lane[00:02:33]
Scattered round the world we dreamt of coming home again[00:02:40]
From the Rocks of Sydney Harbour the Bronx and Birmingham[00:02:47]
To the Sandy Hills the seven Springs[00:02:54]
The waters of the Fen[00:02:57]
Here comes Darky Prendergast and Mrs Charlie Weld[00:03:01]
The Halfords and the Edderys the Brabazons and the bells[00:03:08]
The owners and the trainers stallions and brood mares[00:03:16]
Fillies colts and yearlings on the gallops of Kildare[00:03:23]
The Roo[00:03:29]
The Goo and Gandy every nickname brings a smile[00:03:30]
Tell Fid Conks and Corney I'll be home in a little while[00:03:37]
As the sun goes down behind the town[00:03:44]
We'll gather on the strand[00:03:47]
Dance to Jimmy Dunny's orchestra Tom Wilmot's Ceili band[00:03:50]
From Hawkfield and Kilbelin Chinatown and Rosy's Lane[00:03:58]
Scattered round the world we dreamt of coming home again[00:04:05]
From the Rocks of Sydney Harbour the Bronx and Birmingham[00:04:12]
Valleys of the short road of coming home again[00:04:19]
