How Are Things in Glocca Morra
Dick Haymes
(words by E.Y. Harburg; music by Burton Lane)
- From "Finian's Rainbow"
I hear a bird, Londonderry bird
It well may be he's bringing me a cheering word
I hear a breeze, a River Shanon breeze
It well may be it's followed me across the seas
Then tell me please:
How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through k**ybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Mora?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that la**ie with the twinklin' eye
Come smilin' by and does she walk away
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin' willow and each brook along the way
And each la** that comes a-sighin" Too ra lay
How are things in Glocca Morra this fine day?
