Here's another song about a girl called ''Asthoreen Bawn''
This song was written by Dr. Arthur Colahan and P.J. Ryan.
Dr. Arthur Colahan wrote Galway Bay [ lyrics ]
The winds that blow across the seas from Ireland
Come laden with the salt of Irish foam
Sure I never seem to hear them but they whisper
Asthoreen Bawn, when are you coming h
And when they reach the smoke fog of our cities
And down the narrow streets and slums they roam
To me it always seems a thousand pities
That when they're lonely here they can't go home
I do not blame the English winds not knowing
They measure ours by standards of their own
Sure they've never heard the wild on the brown bog cry
Asthoreen Bawn when are you coming home.
