Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh
Chorus
Me an’ me grandad, hand in hand together.
We walk across Mt.Leinster, in all kinds of weather.
The years have made him older but he’s gentle an’ he’s kind.
It’s the sheep upon the mountain, that’s always on his mind.
Me mammy says me grandad, is as old as old can be.
Yet long ago he was a boy, a little boy like me.
He used to play where I play now along the mountainside.
But now he sits an’ smokes his pipe, beside the old fire side.
Chorus
Me an’ me grandad, hand in hand together.
We walk across Mt.Leinster, in all kinds of weather.
The years have made him older but he’s gentle an’ he’s kind.
It’s the sheep upon the mountain, that’s always on his mind.
Me mammy says me grandad, is as wise as wise can be.
‘Cos long ago he went ta school, a little boy like me.
He used ta run an’ jump an’ play, his hair was full of curls.
An’ when he went ta school, he’d play with all the boys an’ girls.
Chorus
Me an’ me grandad, hand in hand together.
We walk across Mt.Leinster, in all kinds of weather.
The years have made him older but he’s gentle an’ he’s kind.
It’s the sheep upon the mountain, that’s always on his mind.
He is the greatest grandad an’ I’m glad that he’s mine.
About the Song,….. Me An Me Grandad Walk Across Mount Leinster’’
From the Nine Stones; you can walk up the road, which brings you to the top of Mount Leinster, and the TV mast. On the summit you will see a big pile of stones, Grandad always called it the Castle, he told me it was a triation that every time you walked up to the top, you threw a stone up on the Castle,for it supposedly the burial chamber of the King of Leinster.
