The Castle of Dromore lyrics

October winds lament around

The castle of Dromore

But peace is in her lofty halls

My dearest treasure store

Though autumn leaves may droop and die

A bud of spring are you

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo, low, lan

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo

Bring no ill will to hinder us

My helpless babe and me

Dread spirits of the Blackwater

Clan Owen's wild banshee

For Holy Mary pitying us

In Heaven for grace doth sue

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo, low, lan

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo

Take time to thrive, my rose of hope

In the garden of Dromore

Take heed, young eaglet, till your wings

Have feathers fit to soar

A little rest and then the world

Is full of work to do

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo, low, lan

Sing hush-a-bye, loo, lah, loo
