From The Village Of Conna

Her shoulder length wavy hair a light chestnut brown
Tossing in the coastal winds in Port Fairy Town
On a blustery day in September in the early Spring
In the park on Bank Street the magpies did sing

The sort who inspire the writers of song, story and rhyme
A beautiful young woman in her physical prime
From the Village of Conna on the banks of the Bride
A long way south of her home in the east Cork countryside

She told me she has been in Melbourne for less than a year
But of her plans for the future she did seem quite clear
That in Australia her's would not be a long stay
As she felt homesick for her family and friends in Conna far away

A charming young beauty of beautiful sloe blue eyes
Her distinctive east Cork accent easy to recognize
In the seaside Town of Port Fairy for a weekend holiday
She says she will be home in Conna by May

A young woman of great beauty i may never more meet
She smiled on parting in the park of Bank Street
From the Village of Conna in east Cork far away
Just talking to her brought some joy to my day.
