歌词
We may tramp the earth for all that we’re worth,
But what odds where you and I go?
We shall never meet a spot so sweet
As the beautiful city of Sligo.
Oh, sure she’s a Queen in purple and green
As she shimmers and glimmers her gardens between;
And a way to Lough Lene the like isn’t seen
Of her river a-quiver with shadow and sheen,
The beautiful city of Sligo.
Tho’ bustle and noise are some folks’ joys,
Your London just gives me vertigo,
You can hear yourself talk when out you walk
Thro’ the beautiful city of Sligo.
Oh, sure she’s a Queen in purple and green
As she shimmers and glimmers her gardens between;
And a way to Lough Lene the like isn’t seen
Of her river a-quiver with shadow and sheen,
The beautiful city of Sligo.
As an artist in stones a genius was Jones,
Whom so queerly they christened Inigo,
But he hadn’t the skill to carve a Grass Hill
For the beautiful city of Sligo.
Oh, sure she’s a Queen in purple and green
As she shimmers and glimmers her gardens between;
And a way to Lough Lene the like isn’t seen
Of her river a-quiver with shadow and sheen,
The beautiful city of Sligo.
Then for powder and puff and cosmetical stuff,
Dear girls, to Dame Fashion ah! why go?
When Dame Nature supplies for tresses and eyes
Such superior dyes down in Sligo.
Oh, sure she’s a Queen in purple and green
As she shimmers and glimmers her gardens between;
And a way to Lough Lene the like isn’t seen
Of her river a-quiver with shadow and sheen,
The beautiful city of Sligo.
