Limerick Vales - T.R. Dallas
In my dreams I'll sometimes stray
To find places far away
To my Emerald isle so far across the sea
I can see rosskeals and dales
And my lovely Limerick Vales
I wake up and I am left with memories
And my dreams they are so clear
And those places seem so near
Yet there's always one thing special on my mind
And I'm in that hour again
It is there that I remain
I might never leave my Limerick Vales behind
There was Cappamore and Doon
Kilmallock Bruff and Croom
Shanagolden and Askeaton too I see
Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale
Sweet Adare and old Rathkeale
And my lovely day brown village of Bruree
And my dreams they are so clear
And those places seem so near
Yet there's always one thing special on my mind
And I'm in that hour again
It is there that I remain
I might never leave my Limerick Vales behind
It was there that I returned
To that place that I call home
I will come to Limerick City in between
I will see the swinging doors
Pery square and garyowen
And go back by patrickswell and old Raheen
And my dreams they are so clear
And those places seem so near
Yet there's always one thing special on my mind
And I'm in that hour again
It is there that I remain
I might never leave my Limerick Vales behind
And if I was young again
It is there that I'd remain
I might never leave my Limerick Vales behind
I might never leave my Limerick Vales behind
