Kathy Mattea – True North lyrics
A song for you this evening, and it's not to make you sad,
Or for adding to the sorrow of a troubled Northern land.
But lately I've been thinking, and it just won't leave my mind.
I'll tell you now of two good friends. They were both good friends of
Mine.
Isaac Scott from Derry, he lived just across the fields.
A great man for the music and the dancing and the reels.
MacDonald came from South Armagh to court young Agnes fair.
It was then we'd meet on Ryan Road, and laughter filled the air.
Now, Isaac, he was Protestant and Sean was Catholic born.
But it never made a difference, for their friendship it was strong.
And sometimes in the evening when we heard the sound of drums,
We said
Or for adding to the sorrow of a troubled Northern land.

It was then we'd meet on Ryan Road, and laughter filled the air.

But it never made a difference, for their friendship it was strong.
And sometimes in the evening when we heard the sound of drums,
