Beautiful Glaslough Music and Lyrics by Mr Packie Mc Ghee
Verse 1
In the midst of old Ireland there stands a small village that rivals the best you can find.
Where beauty and friendship embrace one another and troubles are left far behind.
You can stand in the diamond and gaze at the buildings our forefathers built with their hands.
But they'd never have guessed that one day they'd be blessed with the loveliest spot in Ireland.
Chorus
Have you ever been to Glaslough in the evening, when the twilight sun was setting through the trees,
Where the flowers and green grass grow, people stop, and say hello, have you ever been to beautiful Glaslough.
Verse 2
In the cools shades of morning before the sun rises and the soft grass is covered in dew.
Like a carpet of velvet beneath the fine hedgerows that stretches away from your view.
Take a walk through the village go down by the castle round by the old station then back.
Where the sounds from the park were the children are playing is like the sweet song of a Lark......
