Oh  I wish I was in limerick town
Where  the river winds past the ridges  down
And  the little lanes lead to the  gathering crowd
In  the light fall of the spring evening
For  among its streets a love I’ve  found
Oh,  of a girl from a northern town
And  ill never see your streets no  more
So  full of my sad thoughts of her
 (Chorus)
And  if you ever go to limerick town
Where  the river winds past the ridges  down
Will  you seek the good friends there  I found
And  will you tell them I was asking
For  them
Da-da-dee-da-da-  da- daa-daa-down
La  da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
La  da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
La  da dee da da da- daa-daa-down
 Oh watch the rain drift over raheen
 Or the river head a deep mist
 Oh dusk has fallen over you Georgian streets
 for if ever we should chance to meet
 Choras
 And if you ever go to limerick town
 Where the river winds past the ridges down
 Will you seek the good friends there I found
 And will you tell them I was asking
 For them
Da-da-dee-da-da- da- daa-daa-da000
 La da dee da da da- daa-daa-da000-|
 La da dee da da da- daa-daa-da000-|
 La da dee da da da- daa-daa-da000-|
