Daniel O'Donnell - 5000 Miles From Sligo lyrics

An old map I have found So in thoughts I am bound For old Ireland's green mountains and streams To the land of my heart through the heart of my land I am wondering tonight in my dreams As I view Sligo bay And not so far away There's Collooney and the girl I once knew And my eyes start to fill As I think of lough gill In this map they have coloured in blue. Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo Wondering why I ever had to go Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo Pretending I'm on my way back home. Tubbercurry is there And there's ballysadare Ballymote holds old memories for me From the Ox mountain range to the cold sligo grange theres Roscommon to leitrum you'll see So from Sligo and home Once again I must roam Back along the along highway eighty-three And my memory's are gold, in the sadness I fold And return here to reality. Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo Wondering why I ever had to go Oh I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo Pretending I'm on my way back home. Pretending I'm on my way back home
