"Down by the Lagan Side" lyrics

Well, I thought she was a vision
That stopped me with her smile
Down by the river
We walked along in style
She says you're welcome back again
And won't you stay awhile
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we'll dance together
When we cry, we'll hold each other
And when we love, we'll love forever
Down by the Lagan side

I said who owns that music
So full of joy and pain
That the pipers and the harpers
And the lambeg drummers play
She said who owns the teardrops
Falling in the rain
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we'll dance together
When we cry, we'll hold each other
And when we love, we'll love forever
Down by the Lagan side

And do you not remember
We once walked side by side
And the bells of Belfast city
Sang in harmony and pride
The past it has been taken
But the future's yours and mine
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we'll dance together
When we cry, we'll hold each other
And when we love, we'll love forever
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we'll dance together
When we cry, we'll hold each other
And when we love, we'll love forever
Down by the Lagan side

And when we dance, we'll dance together
When we cry, we'll hold each other
And when we love, we'll love forever
Down by the Lagan side
