Bangor Town

[Verse 1: Foy Vance] I set my sails And be true the wind will guide me To draw upon the North East shore Of the emerald island County Down [Verse 2: Foy Vance] Where Bangor town Is now and forever calling And recalls me by the shore At peace, in Silence [Chorus: Foy Vance] I sit down by the water And I glory at my host Let the rivers roll over like lovers Oh brothers and sisters and I Good lord you know we need it most Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild In Bangor town County Down [Verse 3: Foy Vance] Let Joys abound Back in Fealtys bar on High Street Where we’ll raise a glass to all a fair tomorrow We’ll be found amidst the sound Of our laughter ever roaring As we drink our fill where once We drowned our sorrows [Chorus: Foy Vance] I sit down by the water And I glory at my host Let the rivers roll over like lovers Oh brothers and sisters and I Good lord you know we need it most Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild In Bangor town County Down [Verse 4: Foy Vance] And where Jerry wails Writing signs outside the Helmsman Beware you passers by what lays inside there Oh he testified And Julie cried, reminiscing on her story Surrounded once by glory now by violence [Chorus: Foy Vance] I sit down by the water And I glory at my host Let the rivers roll over like lovers Oh brothers and sisters and I Good lord you know we need it most Our minds are tethered but our hearts are wild In Bangor town County Down
