Limerick You’re a Lady: Written and recorded by Denis Allen in 1979 for the Limerick Lady Festival. A romantic personification of the city and its Shannon waters; became a number-one hit.
- Limerick you′re a lady
- Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
- The beauty that surrounds you
- I’ll take it with me love where e′er I go.
- While waking in the arms of distant waters
- A new day finds me far away from home
- And Limerick you’re my lady
- The one true love that I have ever known.
- As children you and I spent endless days of fun
- In winter’s snow or summer′s golden sun
- We fished in silver streams, the fabric of my dreams
- Was fashioned by your loveliness and so I have to say.
- Limerick you′re a lady
- Your Shannon waters tears of joy that flow
- The beauty that surrounds you
- I’ll take it with me love where e′er I go.
- While waking in the arms of distant waters
- A new day finds me far away from home
- And Limerick you’re my lady
- The one true love that I have ever known.
- The difference time has made, for travellers on their way
- Seeking out the beauty of my land
- At shrines the children play, and bells ring out to say
- Thank God we′re living just to feel the freedom of each day.
- Limerick you’re a lady
