G
Coming back from Downpatrick stopping off at
     F
St. John's Point
G                                              F
Out all day birdwatching and the craic was good
G                                                 F
Stopped off at Strangford Lough early in the morning
                 G
Drove through Shrigley taking pictures and on
to Killyleagh
                 F
Stopped off for Sunday papers at the Lecale
District
G                       F
Just before Coney Island

On and on over the hill to Ardglass in the jam jar
Autumn sunshine, magnificent and all shining through
Stop off at Ardglass for a couple of jars of
mussels
And some potted herrings in case we get famished
before dinner

On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
Heading towards Coney Island
I look at the side of your face
As the sunlight comes streaming through the window
In the autumn sunshine
And all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking
Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all
the time?
