Is Clogherhead Like It Used To Be

Lyrics

[Chorus] Is Clogherhead like it used to be? Is the pier still there? Do the boys and girls go round the head In the evening so fair? Is my girl as nice as she used to be? Are my friends alright? Oh what I'd give to be with them In Clogherhead tonight [Verse 1] Two friends they met in a foreign land In a land beyond the sea And one of them sent for Clogherhead And landed there that day After a shake hands and a friendly drink The other murmured low Come tell me about the old home town Come tell me all you know [Chorus] Is Clogherhead like it used to be? Is the pier still there? Do the boys and girls go round the head In the evening so fair? Is my girl as nice as she used to be? Are my friends alright? Oh what I'd give to be with them In Clogherhead tonight [Verse 2] He spoke about his little girl And he murmured with a sigh: "If she had been more kind to me I'd ne'er have said good bye" The tears they rolled down his cheeks And his heart was sad and sore But his sigh quickly changed to a smile of joy As he said once more [Chorus] Is Clogherhead like it used to be? Is the pier still there? Do the boys and girls go round the head In the evening so fair? Is my girl as nice as she used to be? Are my friends alright? Oh what I'd give to be with them In Clogherhead tonight
