- Genre:Folk
- Year of Release:2023
Lyrics
Up near Moolieve Mountain, where the winds blow wild and free
Where the Kilkeel River makes its way down to the sea
The misty Mourne Mountains there they tower as they stand
Watching the still waters of the Silent Valley Dam
The sound of children's voices it once made the valley ring
The foxes on the mountain howled and the birds they loved to sing
They called it Happy Valley in the days before the dam
Before the hand of man it came to alter natures' plan
The last to leave was Jimmy Shiels and he got little thanks
To those who knew and loved him he was Jimmy of the Banks
The friendships and the solitude, the heather and the turf
