Burton Lane — How Are Things in Glocca Morra?

(Verse) I hear a bird A Glocca Morra bird It may well be He's bringing me A cheerin' word I hear a breeze A River Shannon breeze It may well be It's followed me Across the seas Then tell me please (Chorus) How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that little brook still leapin' there? Does it still run down to Donny Cove? Through Killybegs, Kilkerry, and Kildare? How are things in Glocca Morra? Is that willow tree still weepin' there? Does that laddie with the twinklin' eye Come whistlin' by And does he walk away Sad and dreamy there Not to see me there? So I ask each weepin' willow And each brook along the way And each lad that comes a-whistlin' Tooralay How are things in Glocca Morra This fine day?
