The best road in Northern Ireland is the road out of it she say br Near forty per cent unemployment it has always been that way br And who is to disagree with her as Sharon ought to know br For she lived in Northern Ireland up to a few short months ago. br br I was starved of opportunity so I left County Down br And I came to live near Melbourne found work near bigger town br Ten per cent unemployment and the Aussies moan and whine br And they feel happy in Northern Ireland if it's under thirty nine. br br I will return to Northern Ireland to visit my family br But I won't be staying in County Down there's nothing there for me br Unemployment bad as ever and no opportunities br And the young people still leaving for big cities over seas. br br She now lives in Olinda just east of Melbourne Town br A tall young woman with mouse brown hair Sharon from County Down br She plans to visit Queensland and from there she'll make her way br To Ulster and Greyabbey and home for Christmas Day.
