The Conways Tom And Joe

When I was a young fellow the Conways Tom and Joe Played their acordions at dances and parties in Duhallow years ago And Den Janie often played with them as the dancers took the floor In Cullen and in Millstreet and Ballydaly and Rathmore. They lived near Ballydaly between Rathmore and Millstreet And they were honest fellows free of guile and conceit And they worked hard all of their working lives for to earn a livelihood, The Conway brothers Tom and Joe had in them so much good. When I was a Primary schoolgoing boy and that's going back in time The Conway brothers Tom and Joe were well beyond their prime But they remained quite young at heart despite their tell tale gray And men like them don't ever die they only fade away. The Conway brothers Tom and Joe as I remember yet Played on their old accordions as the dancers worked a sweat And across the miles and far away the Seasons come and go But time doesn't dim the memories for me of Tom and Joe.
