Abandoned In Bandon

In County Cork in the country green

In a lonesome town called Bandon

A boy lives there and he dreams of County Clare

The holiday that he just had done

Oh he walked over hills and skipped over rivers

All the time his hand in his love

But his love's not here and never close at hand

His heart's abandoned in Bandon

Two counties. One love

Too many complications

And not enough hand in glove

Not enough hand in glove

He took a dive outta town an' kept on driving'

His Western love – his navigation

But the car broke down outside of Castletown

He pulled into the gas station

He dialed that name and imagined them kissin'

As that sweet Clare voice filled his ears

But his love's not here and never close at hand

His car's all bust 'cause he bust the gears

Two counties. One love

Too many complications

And not enough hand in glove

Not enough hand in glove

Abandoned in Bandon
