Bangor Town

[Verse 1: Foy Vance]

I set my sails

And be true the wind will guide me

To draw upon the North East shore

Of the emerald island

County Down

[Verse 2: Foy Vance]

Where Bangor town

Is now and forever calling

And recalls me by the shore

At peace, in Silence

[Chorus: Foy Vance]

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down

[Verse 3: Foy Vance]

Let Joys abound

Back in Fealtys bar on High Street

Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow

We’ll be found amidst the sound

Of our laughter ever roaring

As we drink our fill where once

We drowned our sorrows

[Chorus: Foy Vance]

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down

[Verse 4: Foy Vance]

And where Jerry wails

Writing signs outside the Helmsman

Beware you passers by what lays inside there

Oh he testified

And Julie cried, reminiscing on her story

Surrounded once by glory now by violence

[Chorus: Foy Vance]

I sit down by the water

And I glory at my host

Let the rivers roll over like lovers

Oh brothers and sisters and I

Good lord you know we need it most

Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild

In Bangor town

County Down
