THE ROADS OF DROMARA
There’s a little town on a hillside
In the heart of the county Down,
Where a road runs away to the mountain
And a road to the sea runs down
Refrain:
Runaway roads of Dromara
Wander the wide world round.
Home-again roads of Dromara
Lead back to the heart of Down.
I spent the days of my childhood
Happy with my friends at play,
But the runaway roads of Dromara
Kept calling me away.
Refrain:
Runaway roads of Dromara etc
I took the road of the morning
When the sky was blue above,
Now the shadowy road of evening
Winds back to the place I love.
Refrain:
Runaway roads of Dromara etc
Though I’ve travelled the whole world over
And seen many different sights,
There’s nothing to compare with Dromara
On a peaceful summer’s night.
Refrain:
Runaway roads of Dromara etc
There’s a little town on a hillside
In the heart of the county Down,
Where a road runs away to the mountain
And a road to the sea runs down
Refrain:
Runaway roads of Dromara etc
