Going Down To Bangor - Van Morrison

Well I’m going down to Bangor

I want you to bring me, bring me my bucket and spade

Well I’m going down to Bangor

Bring me my bucket and spade

I’m going down to Pickie Pool

Man we’re going in the deep end

Well I got your letter this morning

When the sun was shining so bright

Well I got your letter this morning

Oh, when the sun was shining so bright

I want you to know one thing

That you’re the love of my life

We’re going up to Cavehill

We’re going to walk on Napoleon’s Nose

We’re going up to Cavehill

We’re going to walk on Napoleon’s Nose

Way up on the hillside

Where the purple heather grows

I haven’t seen my cousin Billie in such a long time

I haven’t seen my cousin Billie, not in a long time

Well I saw her just the other day

She was standing in a supermarket line

Well we’re going out in the charabanc

We’re just as happy as we can be

Well we’re going out in the charabanc

We’re just as happy as we can be

Well we’re going to go driving

Watch the mountains of Mourne run down to the sea

Yeah we’re going down to Bangor

Just six miles from Donaghadee

Oh, we’re going down to Bangor

Some six miles from Donaghadee

I want you to sing this with me

Tra-la-la, tra-la-lee

Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-lee

Tra-la-la, tra-la-la, tra-la-lee

It’s only six miles from Bangor

To Donaghadee
