Well I didn't see much future When I left the Christian brothers school, So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam. And sometimes when I'm reminiscing, I see the prefabs and my old friends, And I know that they'll be changed or gone By the time I get home again. Chorus: And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 Stone walls and the grasses green
