The Marquee In Drumlish Lyrics By Declan Nerney
This was one of the biggest hits for Country singer Declan. It tells the story of how he started out with his first guitar to becoming one of Ireland's greatest country music performers. No chords at the moment. Also included are the lyrics for Stop The World And Let Me Off which is one of the shortest songs ever written. It only has one verse and one chorus that gets repeated over and over which is handy when you've a few pints on you and can't remember the words of a song. Back to the Irish country song lyrics . Other songs her by Declan Nerney include ''Give Me One More Kiss'' and Back In Roscommon.
When I was just a little boy my one and only wish
Was to get to see the showbands at the marquee in Drumlish.
I'd watch them all arrive in big wagons and fine cars
And I wondered what it would be like to be a country star.
My father used to tell me that I was far too small
And I had no change to go to the dance to see the bands all
But my mother would get 'round him and I would get my wish
And we'd go to see the Mainliners in the marquee in Drumlish.
I'd watch Seamus McManus as he played his lead guitar
And I wondered how he got that sound,,,,,,,
When Big Tom sang ''Gentle Mother'' sure I can tell you this,
That everyone would sing along in the marquee in Drumlish.
Larry And The Mighty Avons were among my favourites too
How I envied Micky Brady with his Fender coloured blue
When Larry sang he had them all, no notes he ever missed
You could hear that fence and echo around the marquee in drumlish.
Philamena Country favour would take the old band stand
And I'd watch when Dan O'Hara pick and play my ramblin man
And later on when I got home I'd check the old jam jar.
To see if I had saved enough to buy my first guitar.
So next morning with my mother we went to Longford Town
And she bought me that first guitar, I think it was twelve pounds
With radio and records I practised all alone
Soo I had the job with The Hilos and Gene Stuard from Tyrone
And then one Friday Evening came that biggest break of all
I was asked to join The Brian Coll and the mighty Buckaroos
We played all over Ireland, England and The U.S.A
And I owe a lot to Brian for what I am today
And now the people tell me that I could go far
We play all over Ireland from Cork to Castlebar
The carnival is over but I still got my wish
For I got my inspiration, at the marquee in Drumlish.
No I wont forget marquee in my native town Drublish.
Was to get to see the showbands at the marquee in Drumlish.
I'd watch them all arrive in big wagons and fine cars
And I wondered what it would be like to be a country star.

Declan Nerney - Back In Roscommon lyrics
Well I got my luggage in the boot, soon I'll be free-wheeling
Heading down that road to a county in the west
I'm all alive and to tell the truth I've got this lovely feeling
For tomorrow I'll awaking in the place I love the best.
I'm gonna meet my friends tonight in the county of Roscommon
To see our aincient abbey Forrest Park and Lough Key
To watch the boats below the bridge as I cross the River Shannon
I'm at home amoung The Rossies their the Heart and Soul of me.
I'll call to see my relatives'''
Ah we meet old friends in Strockstown, Lisacul and Castlerea
In ''' where an Angel lives, that's my aunty Mary
She's a gentle hearted lady and she means the world to me.
I'm gonna meet my friends tonight in the county of Roscommon
To see our aincient abbey Forrest Park and Lough Key
To watch the boats below the bridge as I cross the River Shannon
I'm at home amoung The Rossies their the Heart and Soul of me.
Hear again the haunting tunes of Percy and O'Carroll
And catch a game in Hyde Park on a sunny afternoon
Through Knockvicar we'll walk hand in hand and thank God for our blessings
With my baby I'll propose to her beneath an August moon.
Well I'm gonna meet my friends tonight in the county of Roscommon
To see our aincient abbey Forrest Park and Lough Key
To watch the boats below the bridge as I cross the River Shannon
I'm at home amoung The Rossies their the Heart and Soul of me.
Well I got my luggage in the boot, soon I'll be free-wheeling
Heading down that road to a county in the west
I'm all alive and to tell the truth I've got this lovely feeling
For tomorrow I'll awaking in the place I love the best.
I'm gonna meet my friends tonight in the county of Roscommon
To see our aincient abbey Forrest Park and Lough Key
To watch the boats below the bridge as I cross the River Shannon
I'm at home amoung The Rossies their the Heart and Soul of me.

Give Me One More Kiss Lyrics By Declan Nerney
Give me one more kiss our happiness I'll miss
When I turn and walk away we'll never kiss again
Let me gaze upon you tenderly the way you used to look at me
When we were happy and I thought our love will never end.
In Limerick Cork and old Tralee, I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way.
Give me one more kiss a moment more of bliss
Before I turn my back on love and break your heart that's true.
For a pretty girl a lovely song it's all the happiness I've known
I could never settle down as you would have me do.
Oh Foxford Kells and Tiffany I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, it's best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
Give me one more kiss and please remember this I'm not the kind to take your heart
and break it just for fun.
And I know I'll miss your smiling face, I want to feel your warm embrace
The wonder it is in my Soul I must be moving on.
In Milford Clougher Doonaree, I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, it's best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
Give me one more kiss our happiness I'll miss
When I turn and walk away we'll never kiss again
Let me gaze upon you tenderly the way you used to look at me
When we were happy and I thought our love will never end.
In Limerick Cork and old Tralee, I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way.
Give me one more kiss a moment more of bliss
Before I turn my back on love and break your heart that's true.
For a pretty girl a lovely song it's all the happiness I've known
I could never settle down as you would have me do.
Oh Foxford Kells and Tiffany I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, it's best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
Give me one more kiss and please remember this I'm not the kind to take your heart
and break it just for fun.
And I know I'll miss your smiling face, I want to feel your warm embrace
The wonder it is in my Soul I must be moving on.
In Milford Clougher Doonaree, I love them all they're calling me
I want to see that open road again.
And I'm leaving just the way I came, it's best that you forget my name
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
So darling give me one more kiss and I'll be on my way
