When you're out walking and there's no one near you But a voice keeps calling and you hear your name It's not the leaves or the whispering breezes It's me that's calling you back again
Chorus (after each verse): Oh can you hear me? Oh can you hear me As you roam through lonely London town? When evening's falling you'll hear me calling Come on home now to the County Down
Do you remember the fiddlers playing? The songs and stories, the whole night long? 'Tis little then that you thought of leaving It seems so strange now that you are gone
The fish are dancing on Clanrye River The teams are sporting in old Glenvale My heart no longer can lead the cheering When you're not playing, it's a different game
I'm always thinking that things are changing And that they're building a factory tall And young ones needed again in Newry But I still need you the most of all
