How Are Things In Glocca Morra 1946 'Finian's Rainbow'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Jun 2003

I hear a bird, Londonderry bird,
It well may be he's bringing me
a cheering word.
I hear a breeze,
a River Shannon breeze,
It well may be it's followed me
across the seas.
Then tell me please:

How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Mora?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that lassie with the twinklin' eye
Come smilin' by, and does she walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin' willow,
and each brook along the way,
And each lass that comes asighin':
"Tooralay."
How are things in Glocca Morra
this fine day?

How are things in Glocca Morra?
Is that little brook still leaping there?
Does it still run down to Donny cove?
Through Killybegs, Kilkerry and Kildare?
How are things in Glocca Mora?
Is that willow tree still weeping there?
Does that lassie with the twinklin' eye
Come smilin' by, and does she walk away,
Sad and dreamy there not to see me there?
So I ask each weepin' willow,
and each brook along the way,
And each lass that comes asighin':
"Tooralay."
How are things in Glocca Morra
this fine day?
