Far across the yonder blue Lies a true fairy land With the sea rippling over The shingle and sand Where the gay honeysuckle Is luring the bee When the green glens of Antrim They're calling to me Oh, If only you knew How the light of the moon Turns a blue Irish bay To a silver lagoon Imagine the picture Of heaven it would be Where the green glens of Antrim They're calling to me Soon I hope to return To my own Cuchendall 'Tis the one place I know That can outshine them all I know every stone I recall every tree Where the green glens of Antrim Are calling to me I would call to wee cabin Close down by the shore And knock with my heart at the wee cabin door While the sun showered its gold In the lap of the sea And the green glens of Antrim Are welcoming me 'Tis alone my concern If it granted surprise 'tis my private affair What my feelings might be Where the green glens of Antrim Are welcoming me I'd be where the people Are simple and kind And among them there is one That's been on my mind I'd I pray that the world would In peace let me be Where the green glens of Antrim Are heaven to me Song by Daniel O'Donnell
Most beautiful version of this song that has ever been recorded 💚
Thank you ..I used to dance with my Daddy to this ..I luv this version 💚
Far across the yonder blue
Lies a true fairy land
With the sea rippling over
The shingle and sand
Where the gay honeysuckle
Is luring the bee
When the green glens of Antrim
They're calling to me
Oh, If only you knew
How the light of the moon
Turns a blue Irish bay
To a silver lagoon
Imagine the picture
Of heaven it would be
Where the green glens of Antrim
They're calling to me
Soon I hope to return
To my own Cuchendall
'Tis the one place I know
That can outshine them all
I know every stone
I recall every tree
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are calling to me
I would call to wee cabin
Close down by the shore
And knock with my heart
at the wee cabin door
While the sun showered its gold
In the lap of the sea
And the green glens of Antrim
Are welcoming me
'Tis alone my concern
If it granted surprise
'tis my private affair
What my feelings might be
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are welcoming me
I'd be where the people
Are simple and kind
And among them there is one
That's been on my mind
I'd I pray that the world would
In peace let me be
Where the green glens of Antrim
Are heaven to me
