[Lyric] Hills Around Clonmel (Pat Ely)

[Chorus]
Sure my hearts in Tipperary where I love each hill and dale from the famous Galtee mountains to the lovely golden vale and tomorrow ill be on my way to scenes I love so well for I've played with my companions on the hills around Clonmel

[Verse]
On a lonely range in Kansas I see the sunflower grow
From the town of Hiawatha near the wheat-fields of picko
I've travelled through Missouri to the state of Illinois
Since I left my home in Ireland when I was just a boy
Sure in all my years of travelling many wonderous sights I've seen
But I've always kept in memory the home I know so green
When I think about my childhood days that I remember well
Where I played with my companions in the hills around Clonmel

[Chorus]
Sure my hearts in Tipperary where I love each hill and dale from the famous Galtee mountains to the lovely golden vale and tomorrow ill be on my way to scenes I love so well for I've played with my companions on the hills around Clonmel

[Verse]
I've sailed the big blue river with its water clear and pure
But it hasn't got the charms of my native river Suir
Where we fished for trout and salmon and we watched the morning dawn
When I heard the foxes howling on the slopes of slievenamon
It was there I met my first love while returning from the town on the slopes of Kilmacomma
For a rest we both sat down sure I put my arms around her
And she promised not to tell
And I kissed her in the moonlight in the hills around Clonmel
[Chorus]
Sure my hearts in Tipperary where I love each hill and dale from the famous Galtee mountains to the lovely golden vale and tomorrow ill be on my way to scenes I love so well where I've played with my companions on the hills around Clonmel

Where I've played with my companions on the hills around Clonmel
