Though I've Done My Share Of Travel

Though I've done my share of travel i don't have much to show of Worldly gain
And 'tis been awhile and many Seasons since I've seen old Clara in the rain
And the fog crawl down the mountain on days cold enough to snow
And Finnow swollen by stormwater through the old fields bank high flow.

Though I've done my share of travel i cannot boast of Worldly success
And the judgemental social judges i have failed to impress
But worse for me than not knowing of wealth and fame as i did crave for renown
Is to know I'd be a stranger now in Millstreet my Hometown.

I've done my share of travel beyond Duhallow's countryside
And I've mixed with many races people from places far and wide
And they still talk of their old Homelands many miles beyond the sea
The nostalgia for their old Hometowns in them as much as me.

For my travels and my years of life can't say i have much to show
And what success feels like i must admit i am not one who does know
And it has been more than twenty years since I've seen Finnow in flood of brown
Bank high flowing in the old fields just west of Millstreet Town.
