Some Say To Me

Some say to me your accent it is quite strong And to what part of Ireland did you belong I tell them Duhallow west of Millstreet Town Where i used to live when my hair was dark brown The way i speak some struggle to understand We have our own way of speaking in Ireland In Ireland from County to County the accent seem to change We have our own ways in this there is nothing strange Suppose we would be boring for want of a better name If all of our accents sounded quite the same Variety is the spice of life it is this way And each to their own it does seem true to say My accent with me till the day i die will stay Though in where i came from i would be a stranger to many today A migrant here and a stranger in Millstreet To many people there that i would meet Some say to me that i ought to learn for to speak slow Though they are not my friends and them i do not know But their problems with my accent i do understand Since we have our own way of speaking in Ireland.
