Bangor Town Lyrics - The Wild Swan - Foy Vance

I set my sails 

And betrothed, the wind will guide me 

To draw upon the North East shore 

Of the emerald island 

County Down 

Where Bangor town 

Is now and forever calling 

And recalls me by the shore 

At peace 

In Silence

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 

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

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 

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 

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
