Abandoned in Bandon Songtext
von Andy Taylor

In County Cork in the country green
In a lonesome town called Bandon
A boy lives there and he dreams of County Clare
The holiday that he just had done

Oh he walked over hills and skipped over rivers
All the time his hand in his love
But his love′s not here and never close at hand
His heart's abandoned in Bandon
Two counties. One love
Too many complications
And not enough hand in glove
Not enough hand in glove


He took a dive outta town an′ kept on driving'
His Western love – his navigation
But the car broke down outside of Castletown
He pulled into the gas station

He dialed that name and imagined them kissin'
As that sweet Clare voice filled his ears
But his love′s not here and never close at hand
His car′s all bust 'cause he bust the gears

Two counties. One love
Too many complications
And not enough hand in glove
Not enough hand in glove
Abandoned in Bandon
