LITTLE TOWN IN THE OLD COUNTY DOWN
(Traditional)

Andy Cooney


Sure if I had the wings of a swallow I would travel far over the sea
And a rocky old road I would follow to a place that is heaven to me
When the sun goes to rest way down in the west
Then I'll build such a nest in the place I love best

Chorus
In that dear little town in the old County Down
It will linger way down in my heart
Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land 
Just a wonderful world set apart
O my island of dreams you are with me it seems
And I care not for fame or renown
Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold
Little town in the old County Down.

In the evening when shadows are falling
'Round the old door without any key
There's a voice in my dreams ever calling
There are eyes ever watching for me
There is someone I bless with true tenderness
And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness

Chorus
