Sweet Music Roll On - Christy Moore

Down by O’Connell street one summers evening

I meet a young woman, it was our first meeting

Crossed over the bridge and down by the river

By the strawberry beds I found that I knew her

She called me her darling man

We spend a few hours and we drank a few glasses

We danced at the bar ignoring their glances

Ev’ryone knew her name and they knew by my face

With a beer in my hand and her arm round my waist

Calling me her darling man

The river runs deep, sweet music roll on

So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on

Then came the morning and my boat was leaving

She smiled as she said to me: «No point in grieving»

Ev’ryonce in a while when I hear music playing

I remember her smile and I hear her voice saying:

Calling me her darling man

The river runs deep, sweet music roll on

So the times are long gone, sweet music roll on
