The Green Glens of Antrim Songtext
von Foster & Allen

Far across yonder blue lies a true fairy land
With the sea rippling over the shingle and sand
Where the gay honeysuckle is luring the bee
And the green glens of Antrim are calling to me

Sure, if only you knew how the light of the moon
Turns a blue Irish bay to a silver lagoon
You′d imagine a picture of heaven it would be
Where the green glens of Antrim are welcoming me


Soon I hope to return to my own Cushendall
It's the one place on Earth that can outshine them all
Sure I know every stone I recall every tree
Where the green glens of Antrim are heaven to me

I′d be where the people are simple and kind
And among stand the one that's been eyeing my mind
Oh, I pray that the world would in peace, let me be
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me
Where the green glens of Antrim are calling to me
