A great rendition of Dungarvan my Hometown

Dungarvan my hometown!

DUNGARVAN MY HOME TOWN
There's a spot in the Decies
A place dear to me
Where the Comeraghs are keeping
A watch o'er the sea

And though far have I wandered
Yet wherever I roam
It's the place I love dearest
The place I call home

Dungarvan my home town
I love best of all
Dear old faces and places
Sure oft I recall
In my heart I keep wishing
Some day I will be
Back again in Dungarvan
My home by the sea

On the bridge I will wander
At sweet evening time
Just to gaze o'er the waters
At old Abbeyside
Happy memories come stealing
As the soft shadows fall
On the fishing boats anchored
There beside the quay wall

I have seen fairest places
But I'd rather be
Where the Cunnigar's sleeping
'Neath hills dear to me
And across the blue water
Of that quiet little bay
Dear old Helvick is dreaming
In her bonnet of grey

How I treasured each token
Of days that I knew
In that town of sweet memories
Where the friends are so true
And I thank God in heaven
For choosing me
My old home Dungarvan
My home by the sea

Dungarvan my home town
I love best of all
Dear old faces and places
Sure oft I recall
In my heart I keep wishing
Some day I will be
Back again in Dungarvan
My home by the sea
