Sandy Row

I have been a wanderer all my life, I'll roam this time no more But now I'm sailing back again, back to old Ulster's shores To settle down in Belfast town in a place that you all know Sure it fills my heart with gladness when I think of Sandy Row. 2. When I recall my childhood days, a tear comes to my eye I think of all the brethren on the 12th day of July For the music of the bands that day, it sets my heart a glow As we marched along together down the streets of Sandy Row. 3. Now whenever I have settled down, I never more will roam Away from dear old Ulster, for it is my home sweet home I'll get myself a little house, my children there will grow With all my loyal brethren in the streets of Sandy Row. 4. And now my song is finished and my head I will lay down I am proud that I am loyal to the Red Hand and the Crown The people that will meet me now, for off this ship I go Will be the people that I love, who live in Sandy Row.
