about

The Road to Drumleman by Willie Mitchell and Tony Cuffe

I first heard Ossian singing this beautiful song. One night in a session a beautiful fiddle player asked me to learn it because it was so lovely to play. And it became a dearly loved song to sing, to get lost in, on the road home.

lyrics

Oh the springtime returns to the Laggan again
And the lark sweetly sings o'er the green fertile plain
So I'll take the road that is dearest to me,
The road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

For I've made many friends there on every green mile
And the folks always greet me with a wave and a smile
If I spend all my days here, it's happy I'll be,
On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

For we sat round the fireside when the winter winds blew
And we laughed and we sang till the night was well through
Then we'd have a good dram and a wee cup o' tea
For the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

And the long summer days when we tramped the hills o'er
And spent hours at the Eenans or Creggan's wild shore
And the long summer night made shadows to flee
On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

Oh these days passing swiftly bring changes I know
And as time passes on from this place we must go
But I'll always remember while the heart beats in me,
The road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.
