My dad landed in London 1946....savage treatment building Heathrow Airport and clearing the bombed buildings. He died in London 2010 but we brought him home through Mullingar and buried him in Abbylara. RIP Da x Very moving song.

This is a good sing

Such a sad song. My dad had a tear in his eye listening to this today as his brother left home to go and work in England. He later died there at 37 years of age

I walk through this city a stranger In a land I can never call home I cast a sad notion across me In search of my fortune to roam I'm weary of working and drinking On a weeks wages left in the bar And God it's a shame, to use a friend's name Just to beg for the price of a jar. CHORUS I remember that bright April morning When l Ieft home to travel afar To work till your dead, for one room and a bed It's not the reason l Ieft Mullingar. This London's a city of heartbreak On a Friday there's friends by the score But when the pay's finished on Monday A friend's not a friend anymore For the working day seems never ending From the shovel and pick there's no break And when you're not working you're spending The fortune you left horne to make. CHORUS And for every man here that finds fortune And comes horne to tell of the tale Each morning the Broadway is crowded With many the thousands who fail So young men of Ireland take warning In London you never will find The gold at the end of the rainbow For you might just have left it behind. CHORUS
