| Well I thought she was a vision
|
| That stopped me with her smile
|
| Down by the river
|
| We walked along in style
|
| She says you’re welcome back again
|
| And won’t you stay awhile
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And when we dance, we’ll dance together
|
| When we cry, we’ll hold each other
|
| And when we love, we’ll love forever
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| I said who owns that music
|
| So full of joy and pain
|
| That the pipers and the harpers
|
| And the lambeg drummers play
|
| She said who owns the teardrops
|
| Falling in the rain
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And when we dance, we’ll dance together
|
| When we cry, we’ll hold each other
|
| And when we love, we’ll love forever
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And do you not remember
|
| We once walked side by side
|
| And the bells of Belfast city
|
| Sang in harmony and pride
|
| The past it has been taken
|
| But the future’s yours and mine
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And when we dance, we’ll dance together
|
| When we cry, we’ll hold each other
|
| And when we love, we’ll love forever
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And when we dance, we’ll dance together
|
| When we cry, we’ll hold each other
|
| And when we love, we’ll love forever
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
| And when we dance, we’ll dance together
|
| When we cry, we’ll hold each other
|
| And when we love, we’ll love forever
|
| Down by the Lagan side
|
