Lyrics
I said farewell to dear old Dad and kissed my mother goodbye
Then turned away before they'd see the tears form in my eyes
Along the winding leafy lane where in childhood we would play
With heartache and old memories I sadly made my way
So many folks have left their homes through strife and poverty
Yet somehow we could struggle by just Mother, Dad and me
But things went wrong between me and the girl I called my own
And I left Castleblayney, my old people and my home
I visualize the hedgerows on the road I used to go
I see the town of Blayney and the lakes of Loch Muickno
Around the old Hope Castle where so often I would roam
I dream of Castleblayney, my old people and my home
The harbour lights are fading as I leave this foreign shore
And I watch the dark horizon that I mean to see no more
To the land that holds the legend of the fairy and the gnome
Going back to Castleblayney, my old people and my home
Back to Castleblayney, my old people and my home
