The Boys from the County Armagh There's one fair County in Ireland with mem'ries so glorious and grand Where nature has lavished its beauty in the orchards of Erin's green land I love its Cathedral city once founded by Patrick so true And it bears in the heart of its bosom the ashes of Brian Boru Chorus: It's my own Irish home, far across the foam Although I've oft times left it in foreign lands to roam No matter where I wander through cities near or far My heart is at home in old Ireland, in the County of Armagh I've travelled that part of the County, through Newtown, Forkhill, Crossmaglen Around by the Gap of Mount Norris and home by Blackwater again Where girls are so gay and so hearty, none fairer you'll find near or far But where are the boys that can court them, like the boys from the County Armagh.
