LYRICS:

The Hills Of Killarney

Seven long years have I been gone
Far, far away, 'cross the sea
Now I've served my time, but when I return
Will my true love still love me?

The famine was cruel, but I was a fool
Takin' what wasn't my own
Then off was I sent to Van Diemen's Land
Leavin' my true love all alone

(chorus)
Now the Hills of Killarney are a sight to behold
And Tralee is most dear to my heart
But I'd trade them right now to be with you again
And hear you say we'll never part

16 bar instrumental

Warm summer days, we watched the waves
Roll into the Bay of Tralee
And now those waves are bringing me home
To Ireland and, hopefully, thee.

(chorus)
Now the Hills of Killarney are a sight to behold
And Tralee is most dear to my heart
But I'd trade them right now to be with you again
And hear you say, hear you say,
hear you say we'll never part

My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile
