A beautiful Robbie O’Connell song performed here by the always amazing Sean Keane.
The Man from Connemara
He spent his youth among the stones
The ocean thundered in his bones
His heart was tempered by its drone
The man from Connemara
He always stood out from the crowd
A noble horse as strong and proud
As every rocky field he’d ploughed
The man from Connemara
He left his home and family
To search for work across the sea
But he never lost his dignity
The man from Connemara
He carved his place in foreign lands
And forged a new life with his hands
Where others failed he made a stand
The man from Connemara
