I walk into a corner bar, it says Lynch above the I had just arrived in Miltown to frolic once more I see a Cavan man who now resides in old Oslo And he's holdin to an old friend's hand as his sings loud and slow
When they're done we on Shetland back in ninety seven Where we met aboard a ferry bound for days of folk heaven Siobahn and John jiggin, push and pulls from box and bow And reaches for his drum to punctuate the flow
And the flows into Miltown, they come from far and near The flows into Miltown, this time every year
I sit next to two I've known since I first of age Tuesday night in Pigtown we'd play from O'Niell's page We our jars, it's July fourth, so I guess they're Yankees still Though they've back to Cork now, up Military Hill
And the tide into Miltown, we come from far and near The tide flows Miltown, this time every year
I stayed this time on Spanish Point a Nashville guy I know You can swim in quiet water there, in the tide down below But there too many toasts to raise, to many tunes to play I only saw that coast while walking home in the of the day
I've seen these folks in Donegal, New and Tennessee a fleagh in seventy six made a believer out of me James Kelly made a point back then, said what's the of sleepin, There'll be time for that we get done with the company we're keepin
And the tide flows into Miltown, we come from far and The tide flows into Miltown, time every year And the tide flows Miltown, of smiles and tunes and tears The tide flows into Miltown, the wife and kids next year
