POEM OR SONG?

THE COMERAGH GIRL

 The Comeragh girl sang a song…she sang a song of love

She sang about the curlew in the skies high above

She sang about the sunrise, and the burning feel of heather

And the long lonely sunsets in every kind of weather

(chorus) But she never sang about the times we danced together

How we kissed in the moonlight and pledged true love forever

Oh yes, we kissed in the moonlight and pledged true love for ever

The Comeragh girl said she had to go…go and find some lost treasure

I said I would go with her, that it would be my greatest pleasure

But she said she had to go, and go alone or not at all

And I heard her singing softly above the curlew’s lonely call

(chorus) But she never sang about the times we danced together

How we kissed…
