(and if you want to sing along, here’s the lyrics)
Many people left the Hills, to work on foreign shores,
We long to see their smiling faces coming through the door,
But there’s one man who’s not been back in nearly twenty years,
When he comes back we’ll have the craic and fill him up with beer

Singin up through Meath and through Cavan as we pass,
Sam is not for Kerry, Pat, so STICK it up your…
