Henrik Norbeck's Song Lyrics

Castle of Dromore

Sheet Music (and more information about this song)

The October winds lament around the castle of Dromore
Yet peace is in her lofty halls, a pháiste bán a stór
Though Autumn leaves may droop and die, a bud of spring are you!
sing hush-a-by loo, la-lo, lo lan, sing hush-a-by loo la loo

Bring no ill will to hinder us my helpless babe and me
dread spirit of the Blackwater, clan Eoin's wild banshee
and Holy Mary pitying us in Heaven for grace doth sue
sing hush-a-by loo, la-lo, lo lan, sing hush-a-by loo la loo

Take time to thrive my ray of hope in the garden of Dromore
Take heed young eaglet till thy wings are feathered fit to soar
a little rest and then the world is full of work to do
sing hush-a-by loo, la-lo, lo lan, sing hush-a-by loo la loo
