[00:12.75]Some poets sing of a noble king
[00:21.51]All of a sweetheart fair
[00:27.16]Some tell a tale of ships that sail
[00:38.03]With treasures rich and rare
[00:44.85]But my humble pen still drifts again
[00:54.38]To scenes of long ago
[01:01.45]Across the sea to the Benedy
[01:09.40]And the winding river Roe
[01:18.03]Right well do I remember now
[01:25.77]Those happy childhood days
[01:31.47]And the times I had when just a lad
[01:40.13]On Carn''s lovely braes
[01:46.14]And when my mind is thus inclined
[01:54.97]No other joys I know
[02:01.57]For my heart remains on the verdant plains
[02:10.33]Near the winding river Roe
[02:20.49]Benbradagh''s crown o''er Dungiven town
[02:28.52]Is still within my view
[02:34.53]And the Benedy Glen I worshipped then
[02:42.58]Still lives in memory too
[02:49.19]The beautiful scene of Cashel Green
[02:56.81]Still haunts where ere I go
[03:03.89]And in all my dreams I see it seems
[03:13.50]The winding river Roe
[03:22.39]If fortune smiles on me a while
[03:30.79]I''ll cross the sea again
[03:37.82]And all those years of toil and tears
[03:46.54]Will be forgotten then
[03:53.76]And when at last my life has passed
[04:03.13]Contentedly I''ll go
[04:10.35]Across the sea to the Benedy
[04:20.46]And the winding river Roe
