Clare To Here - Paddy Reilly

Paddy Reilly singing Clare To Here, written by Ralph McTell.

It's a long, long way, it gets further by the day
It's a long way from Clare to here


There's four who share this room as we work hard for the craic
And getting up late on Sunday sure we never get to Mass.

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oh It's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long way from Clare to here

When Friday night comes around sure it's only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I'm too tired for writing

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oh It's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long long, way from Clare to here

It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I told her I'd be coming back with my pockets full of green.

It's a long, long way from Clare to here
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
Oh It's a long, long way, it gets further day by day
It's a long long way from Clare to here

Will I dream I hear a fiddle play sure maybe it's a notion
I thought I saw white horses dance on the other ocean.

It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
It's a long, long, way from Clare to here,
Oh it's a long long way, it gets further day by day,
It's a long, long way from Clare to here
.It's a long, long way from Clare to here,
It's a long, long way from Clare to here.
