(E.Y. "Yip" Harburg/Burton Lane) |
|
I hear a bird, a Londonderry bird |
|
It well may be he's bringing me a cheering word |
|
I hear a breeze, a river shannon breeze |
|
It well may be it's followed me across the sea |
|
Then tell me please |
|
How are things in Glocca Morra? |
|
Is that little brook still leaping there? |
|
Does it still run down to Donny Cove |
|
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare? |
|
How are things in Glocca Morra? |
|
Is that willow tree still weeping there? |
|
Does that laddy with the twinklin' eye |
|
Come whistling by? |
|
And does he walk away sad and dreamy there? |
|
Not to see me there? |
|
So I ask each weeping willow |
|
And each brook along the way |
|
And each lad that comes a whistling |
|
Tooralay |
|
How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day? |
