Text & Musik: Andy Irvine



In the town of Scariff the sun was shining in the sky
When Willie Clancy playes his pipes
And the hears welled in my eyes
Many years have passed and gone
Since the times we had there
But my heart’s tonight in Ireland
In the sweet County Clare.

My heart tonight is far across the rolling sea
In sweet Miltown Malbay it’s there I’d loved to be
So long agao and far away but nothing can compare
My heart’s tonight in Ireland
In the sweet County Clare.

That august in Kilrush when the rain was lashing down
And our hotel was that haybarn
On the outskirts of town
We were all sick and feverish
And Dolan had the flu
But Johnny produced some Whiskey
And the sun came smiling through.

Those nights in Sixmilebridge
When the songs and music flowed
And when it came to closing time
Sure the lights were turned down low
And the sergeant from Kilkishen
He would by us all one more
And we never left that pub before
The clock was striking four.

Lahinch and Ennistymon, Liscannor and Kilkee
But the best of all was Miltown
When the music flowed so free
Willie Clancy and the County Clare
I’m ever in your debt
For the sights and sounds of yesterday
Are shining memories yet.

My heart tonight is far across the rolling sea
In the sweet Miltown Malbay it’s there I’d loved to be
So long ago and far away but nothing can compare
My heart’s tonight in Ireland
In the sweet County Clare.
