Clogman's Glen Songtext
von Declan O’Rourke

A moorhen calls, the rushes weave
The light is breaking through the trees
Across the lake, a gentle breeze
Is tossing dandelion seeds

A beaten path along the shore
Where fishermen will catch their fill
Breaks off into the wild gorse
And yellow, dense, furze-covered hills


Ah, do you remember when, my love?
Oh, my love, do you remember when
When we were young, and life was hard
But beautiful, in Clogman′s Glen?

From here up to the hazel wood
A dozen houses can be seen
With turf smoke rising up above
And children playing in between

Ah, do you remember when, my love?
Oh, my love, do you remember when
When we were young, and life was hard
But beautiful, in Clogman's Glen?


Well, many summers came and went
Before the winter′s icy chill
And cold, stiff wind swept through and blew
'Til all was white and stiff and still
