Big Tom - 5000 Miles From Sligo lyrics

Artist: Big Tom

album: The Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1


An old map I have found, so in thoughts I am bound
For old Ireland's green mountains and streams
To the land of my heart, through the heart of my land
I am wondering tonight in my dreams
As I view Sligo Bay and not so far away
There's Collooney and the girl I once knew
And my eyes start to fill as I think of Lough Gill
In this map they have colored in blue
Oh, I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo
Wondering why I ever had to roam
Oh, I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo
Pretending I'm on my way back home
Tubbercurry is there and there's Ballysadare
Ballymote holds old memories for me
From the Ox Mountain range to the coastline of Grange
There Roscommon to Leitrim you see
So from Sligo and home once again I must roam
Back along on the Highway 83
And my memory's of gold, in this atlas I fold
And return here to reality
Oh, I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo
Wondering why I ever had to roam
Oh, I'm 5000 miles away from Sligo
Pretending I'm on my way back home
Pretending I'm on my way back home
