Dromcolliher - John Roche

I've been to a great many places

And wonderful sights I've seen

From Agernavoe to Ballinasloe

And back to Ballyporeen

But when they talk of the town that

Over the ocean lie

When they say to me Pat

What do you think of that

I up and says says I

I suppose you've not been to Drumcolliher

Ye haven't Well now I declare

You must wait till you've been to Drumcolliher

And see the fine place we have there

There's only one street in Drumcolliher

But then 'tis a glory to see

You may talk till

You're dumb but give me old Drum

For Drum is the place for me

They tell me there's Isles of the Ocean

By India's golden shore

Where life all day long is a beautiful song

With fruits and flowers galore

They tell me the sun does be shining

With never a cloud in the sky

But when they have done with their clouds and their sun

I up and I says says I

I suppose you've not been to Drumcolliher

Ye haven't well now I declare

You must wait till you've been to Drumcolliher

And seen the fine sun we have there

There's only one sun in Drumcolliher

And then 'tis a glory to see

You may talk till you're dumb but give me old Drum

For Drum is the place for me

I was over in London quite lately

I gave King Edward a call

Says the butler He's out he isn't about

An' I don't see his hat in the hall

But if you would like to look round sir

I think you will have to say

Apartments like these are not what one sees

In your country every day

Says I have yes been to Drumcolliher

Ye haven't well now I declare

You must wait till you've been to Drumcolliher

And seen the fine house we have there

There's only one house in Drumeolliher

For hardware bacon and tea

If your master would come we would treat him in Drum

Oh

Drum is the place for me
