There's six of them in Munster and five are Connaught's due Twelve counties grand in Leinster, and Ulster's nine are proud But the county that I cherish most is the grand old County Louth A toast to the Wee County, it's the place I love best There's not a spot in Ireland that I would rather rest You can keep your Kerry mountains and your Curragh of Kildare For here in the grand old County Louth are scenes beyond compare And if you don't believe me, come and you will find Louth's quiet beauty will never leave your mind And it's in this grand county you will surely make your home Surrounded by kind neighbours you will never want to roam I'll sing in praise of Carlingford, that nestles by the sea Clogherhead, Dunleer, and Drogheda are very dear to me There's Ardee famed in legend where Ferdia and Chucullain fought so bold And in the history pages Dundalk's story oft is told They boast about their pretty girls from Tralee and Donegal But the girls that live in the County Louth are the prettiest of them all They're handsome, tall and friendly, they stand out in a crowd You'll only want to marry a girl from grand old County Louth Yes you'll only want to marry a girl from grand old County Louth By John Nestor and Bobby O'Driscoll |
