lyrics

'Kinnahalla'

Come on up, past Ballynanny
Lies the hen in the heather contented and free
And there you’ll find where my heart wants to be,
I hope Kinnahalla is waiting for me

The sun through the mist splits the last of the oaks
That were cut down and stolen for the building of boats
The whins will be dressed in their yellow and green
I hope Kinnahalla is waiting for me

California I’ve landed, I know not a soul
My life is all packed in this suitcase I hold
But while I remain here, for one thing I’ll plea
I hope Kinnahalla is waiting for me

Up to the deers meadow the water lies deep
The red kite is nesting, the Dolmen its keep
And I’d rest there awhile in my own company
I hope Kinnahalla is waiting for me

California I'm ready and my uniform’s blue
I’ve found me my calling and nothing to lose
But for all that I have here I know where I’d be
I hope Kinnahalla is waiting to me

I’d head down Betty’s for a quick half a stout
And a song for my second I’d be singing no doubt
And it would be my pleasure I know you’ll agree
But I hope Kinnahalla is waiting for me

California I’m here and my kids are all grown
The city life suits them and it’s where they call home
But my heart’s always heavy for it’s not home for me
But I know Kinnahalla is waiting for me
