Last night as I [C] lay sleeping, [G] a dream came to my [C] mind
[G] About a place [C] I loved so [Am] well, [D] the town I left [G] behind
Down the [C] years I traveled, [G] to days so long [C] ago
[G] I swear to you, [C] I never [Am] saw [D] the face I [G] didn't know
And sometimes, when I'm [D] lonesome, [G] I think of where [C] I'm from
[G] On Cuba Street, [C] where old [Am] friends meet, [D] the Shannon where [G] we swam
And I can see, [D] that old barn road, [G] a turf pile to [C] the sky
[G] Oh, Banner, [C] you'll be my [Am] town, [D] until the day [G] I die
Again I walked [C] the Lusma fields, [G] where often I [C] did stray
And [G] once again, [C] I saw [Am] old friends, [D] the friends of [G] yesterday
The Dolans and [C] the Lunums, [G] the Malans and [C] the Rhines
[G] What memories [C] these days [Am] evoke, [D] of far off happy [G] times
And sometimes, [D] when I'm lonesome, [G] I think of where [C] I'm from
On [G] Cuba Street, [C] where old [Am] friends meet, [D] the Shannon where [G] we swam
And I can see, [D] that old barn road, [G] a turf pile to [C] the sky
[G] Oh, Banner, [C] you'll be my [Am] town, [D] until the day [G] I die
And round the town [C] I wandered, [G] I knew my way [C] so well
[G] And then I saw [C] the old [Am] sports field, [D] where first I'd learned [G] to hurl
I heard the curlews' [C] lonesome call, [G] across the callow [C] still
[G] I watched the crows [C] fly round [Am] the woods, [D] of wallers falling
[G]
And sometimes, [D] when I'm lonesome, [G] I think of where [C] I'm from
On [G] Cuba Street, [C] where old [Am] friends meet, [D] the Shannon where [G] we swam
And I can see, [D] that old barn road, [G] a turf pile to [C] the sky
Oh, [G] Banner, [C] you'll be my [Am] town, [D] until the day [G] I die
But now I'm in [C] St.
Louis, [G] it's here I've made [C] my home
I've [G] watched my life [C] drift slowly [Am] by, [D] I've seen my children [G] grow
And though this [C] land's been good to me, [G] and happiness [C] I've found
[G] Just one more time, [C] I'd like to [Am] see, [D] the town I left
[G] And sometimes, [D] when I'm lonesome, [G] I think of where [C] I'm from
On [G] Cuba Street, [C] where old [Am] friends meet, [D] the Shannon where [G] we swam
And I can see, [D] that old barn road, [G] a turf pile to [C] the sky
