Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Ben Bulben of Sligo 
high up on Ben Bulben and its green grassy slope where the sheep are so peacefully grazing alone with my thoughts adn my youth's secret hopes 'neath the clouds I'll be cheerfully lazing there on that mountain alone I would go while life held its treasures before me nature around me was waking anew and care was as rare as the moon when it's blue 
CHORUS Ben Bulben of Sligo majestic you stand to welcome me back from my travels when I see the mountain I know I've come home forever and ever no more to roam 
Often at daybreak from my cottage I've seen the sun rising over the mountain reflecting the glories of Sligo and me and each blessing I'd surely be counting Oh where in the world would the grass be so green as the rainfull caressing ? wild geese go flying on Ben Bulben's heights meeting the dawn with their morning flights CHORUS 
land of the poet where Yeats gave us first he was raised in the County of Sligo mem'ries more precious than coins in the purse I'll treasure forever where I go the sounds in the valley as the streams gently flow as they wind their was down to the sea and the wild mountain heather that blooms all year 'round will one day have a hearty welcome for me
