MY NATIVE BROSNA TOWN. Irish, Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBA. "A north Kerry song; words composed by Daniel Hannon" (Mulvihill).

Oh my dear old home 'neath the Kerry hills,
My thoughts are still with thee,
Although I'm in this distant land,
Across the deep blue sea.
I'd long to stand outside your door,
And watch the sun go down,
And hear the church-bells tolling
O'er my native Brosna Town.
