Song Lyrics:
Going Down To Lisdoonvarna
Vs 1
Goin ‘ down to Lisdoonvarna
Goin ‘ there ’cause I ‘m a farmer
Need a girl to be my wife
Someone to keep me out of strife
Goin ‘…. to Lisdoonvarna
Vs 2
West of Ireland in late September
So drunk there I can’t remember
So many pints in the roadside tavern
Sent me off to seventh heaven
Goin · …. to Lisdoonvarna (instrumental – lower register)
Vs 3
Found a gorgeous young colleen
Prettiest women I’ve ever seen
Jigged and reeled all through the night
Thought she was such a beautiful sight
Goin’ …to Lisdoonvarna (instrumental – higher register)
Vs 4
Match making festivals are such fun
Lying there drinking in the sun
Find a women to hold you tight
One who’s goin’ to treat you right?
One who won’t give you a fright?
When you wake up in the night
Goin ‘….to Li sdoonvarna
