Tony Allen - Song For Westmeath

As I walk the valley of Shenandoah, there’s beauty all around
As I watch the sun sink in the west to the songbirds cheerful sound
It brings back happy memories of when I was a child
In the lovely county of Westmeath that I once left behind

Westmeath you’re always on my mind
With your lakes and valleys fair
In the centre of the emerald isle
My heart is ever there

I often wonder why I left but youth and wandering feet
Took me away from Ireland and the county of Westmeath
The maroon and white we cheer with pride a joy our exiles shared
As minstrel voices from the past still linger in the air

Westmeath you’re always on my mind
With your lakes and valleys fair
In the centre of the emerald isle
My heart is ever there

Someday I hope the tide will turn and I’ll find the rainbows end
In the noble county of Westmeath back home amongst my friends

Westmeath you’re always on my mind
With your lakes and valleys fair
In the centre of the emerald isle
My heart is ever there

In the centre of the emerald isle
My heart is always there
