Last night I met old friends and we talked about old times
They told me some stories and I read them some rhymes
They loved the one about the Knockcroghery fish and fries
And the neighbor who baked the sweetest rhubarb pies
We talked about Lough Funshinagh and the one in Ballyglass
And going to Rahara and Ballymurrray for our school class
We talked of all the neighbors and the fine fields of spuds
We talked about the Shannon
and the recent winter floods
We talked of parents left behind sadly broken hearted
How the years have flown and they are now departed
We marveled how we all lived so long without diseases
Living in this Snow Belt with snow and winter freezes
Over in Ireland
they were talking about Russia
and Spain
And if Argentina
or Mexico
could win the World cup again
And talking of
Roscommon with no Sam for many years
Three thousands miles away we were crying in our beers
