  The Orchard Lyrics

When I was nine in harvest time I crossed the orchard wall
The moon was bright the apples ripe upon the ground did fall
We filled our sacks we made our way back more adventures for to find
In that orchard neath the Comeraghs in those sweet Dungarvan times.

I crossed the orchard wall again when I was just thirteen
It was I think to be my first drink of cider and poitin
I remember well it tasted like hell, I hoped the pain would end soon,
In an orchard neath the Comeraghs in that sweet Dungarvan moon.

When I was nineteen years of age I crossed the wall with pride
My Annie fair with nut brown hair was walking by my side,
Our clothes came off we tumbled and we tossed all innocence it was gone,
In an orchard neath the Comeraghs in the sweet Dungarvan dawn

When I was twenty-one years old I married my Annie there,
The apple blossoms in the trees were better in her hair,
And when the day was over there was a drunk for every tree
In an orchard neath the Comeraghs by those sweet Dungarvan seas

Now im forty-five and I am much alive children I have four,
Three girls and one fine strapping son and I have hopes for more
I’ll teach them of what lies ahead I have plenty to tell still
In that orchard neath the Comeraghs in those sweet Dungarvan hills.

Now im ninety-one my days are near done my Annie is long since gone,
Our days they were good and well they should but its time that I passed on
And when I die I want to lie beneath those whispering trees,
In that orchard neath the Comeraghs in that sweet Dungarvan breeze.

And when I die I want to lie in the air, land and foam,
In that orchard neath the Comeraghs by my sweet Dungarvan home.
