《Where the Three Counties Meet》歌词

[00:00:00] Where Three Counties Meet - Shannon Singers

[00:00:05] Oh how lovely to be on

[00:00:07] The shores of Lough Ree

[00:00:09] On a beautiful mid summer's morning

[00:00:13] Looking over the lake

[00:00:15] As the bright waters break

[00:00:17] By the hills of the County Roscommon

[00:00:21] Oh I left my home in the town of Athlone

[00:00:25] On the way to the Three Jolly Pigeons

[00:00:29] It was near Glasson town

[00:00:32] On the road I sat down

[00:00:33] And looked over the beautiful Shannon

[00:00:38] Lough Ree oh Lough Ree

[00:00:40] Where the three counties meet

[00:00:42] Longford Westmeath and Roscommon

[00:00:46] As I stroll round her banks

[00:00:48] By the heather and peat

[00:00:50] They're the memories I've never forgotten

[00:00:58] Oh sad was the day that I went far away

[00:01:02] To work among timbers and concrete

[00:01:06] I must make be a man to follow life's plan

[00:01:11] I forsook the dear place of my homeland

[00:01:15] I'm God grants me grace

[00:01:17] I'll return to the place

[00:01:19] When the sunset of life has come o'er me

[00:01:23] Once again on these shores

[00:01:25] Like a bird my heart soars

[00:01:27] As I gaze on the beauty around me

[00:01:31] Lough Ree oh Lough Ree where

[00:01:33] The three counties meet

[00:01:35] Longford Westmeath and Roscommon

[00:01:39] As I strolled round her

[00:01:40] Banks by the heather andpeat

[00:01:43] They're the mem'ries

[00:01:44] I've never for gotten

[00:01:47] Lough Ree oh Lough Ree where

[00:01:49] The three counties meet

[00:01:52] Longford Westmeath and Roscommon

[00:01:55] As I strolled round her

[00:01:57] Banks by the heather andpeat

[00:02:00] They're the mem'ries

[00:02:01] I've never for gotten
