Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
N 17 
Well I didn't see much future when I left the Christian Brothers School So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile and I left the girls in June And sometimes when I'm reminiscing I see the Pre-fabs and my old friends And I know that they'll be changed or gone by the time I get home again 
Chorus And I wish I was on that N 17 ( stone walls and the grass is green) And I wish I was on that N 17 (.......... Travellin' with just my thoughts and dreams
 ......instrumental.... 
Well the oul fella left me to Shannon,it was the last time I travelled that road And as we turned left at Clare-Galway I could feel alump in my throat As I pictured the 1000s of times that I travelled that well-worn track And I know that things will be different if I ever decide to go back 
Chorus....
 ......instrumental........ 
Now as I tumble down highways on filthy overcrowded trains These no one to talk to in transit so I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these monologue problems of livig on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns in the road and the square to the town that I toiled 
Chorus.... 
instrumental....ad lib last line
