Where Benbow Sang

Far from prying eyes
Johnny sang a Sixties song
Nineteen sixty-three
I felt the hand of history

Fog swept through the docks
The boatyards sang, the barmaid rang
Down by the canal
Where once before a war was won

And when my name was called
The beer jars empty all
I sang where Benbow sang
Father And Son
And Galway Girl

This night was never mine
Was never his, no gift to give
There's life in Jeannot's knife
Though time for me was called too soon

And when my name was called
The beer jars empty all
I sang where Benbow sang
Father And Son
And Galway Girl
And I sang where Johnny sang
Father And Son
Father And Son
And Galway Girl
