Where Benbow Sang Lyrics

Far from prying eyes

Johnny sang a Sixties song

Nineteen sixty-three

I felt the hand of history

Fog swept through the docks

The boatyards sang, the barmaid rang

Down by the canal

Where once before a war was won

And when my name was called

The beer jars empty all

I sang where Benbow sang

Father And Son

And Galway Girl

This night was never mine

Was never his, no gift to give

There’s life in Jeannot’s knife

Though time for me was called too soon

And when my name was called

The beer jars empty all

I sang where Benbow sang

Father And Son

And Galway Girl

And I sang where Johnny sang

Father And Son

Father And Son

And Galway Girl
