Spring Comes To Spiddal

The lights are on in standun's

And the spell has been broken

The roadside teahouse door

Is wide open

A sign on the wall

Says "american also spoken"

As spring comes to spiddal



The village girls go walking

By without their coats

The irish gaelic college

Is alive again with folk

Farmers gather talking

Freed from winter's yoke

As spring comes to spiddal



A tourist with a telescope

And a funny looking german bloke

And a billy goat

All invoke

The summer soon to bloom



On a soft and fresh atlantic air

A mist of pollen floats

On galway bay i spy

A gaily painted fishing boat

There's a rustle around the boreens

And a song on every throat

As spring comes

To spiddal
