1
As I sit and dream in Boston
Beneath a stary sky.
Memories come crowding of,
The time I was a Boy.
A’avale,
but Paddy Lad I throught,
The wide wide streets of home.
A carefree lad with friends gallore.
I was a fool to roam.
(Chorus)
But now I’m coming back to Miltown
In a week i will be there
Back with the Folks i love so well
In
my dear old County Clare
I love the friendly neighbours
And I’ll drink with all the boys
I want to see the
sadness
Leave my dear Mothers eyes
2
My mother she had raised me
On her own since i was three
And it nearly broke her kindly heart
When I went across
the sea
But I was young in those
far off days
All I wanted was to roam.
I did’nt mind the heartbreak
I
caused to those back home.
(Chorus as above)
3
Near quilty theres a Beauty
Her name it is Eillen
And I know that she’s waiting
There for me.
So no
more I’ll go a roaming
In milltown I would stay
And I’ll wed my dark eyed Beauty
Right away.
(Chorus)
So now I’m coming back
to Miltown
In a week i will be there
Back with the Folks
i love
so well
In my dear own county
Clare
I love the friendly neighbours
And I’ll drink with all the
boys
I want to see the sadness leave my dear Mothers eyes
