Dunadry (from Irish: Dún Eadradh, meaning "middle fort") is a small village and townland (of 657 acres) 5km from Antrim in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated in the civil parish of Grange of Nilteen and the historic barony of Antrim Upper. It is within the Borough of Antrim. It had a population of 430 people (190 households) in the 2011 Census. (2001 Census: 237 people).
Around 1251 the name of Dunadry townland was recorded as Dunedergel. The Irish Dún Eadradh may reinterpret an earlier name, Dún Eadarghabhal (fort between forks), referring to a fort which formerly stood in the junction between the Six Mile Water River and the Rathmore Burn. The 1838 Ordnance Survey Memoir records Dunadry as taking its name from a fort which stood about 100 yards to the north of the village.
The site of an ancient church and graveyard, formerly the parish church of the Grange of Nilteen, lies in the townland. In the Papal Taxation c.1306 the church is recorded as Ecclesia de Drumnedergal. The Ordnance Survey Memoir of 1838 records, however, that the foundations of the church were wholly removed and the burial ground cultivated.
[Verse 1:]
It'd taken me forever to call, I needed a little while
You know that being emotional usually ain't my style
But since it's just me talking to you, there's a side that I wanna show
Cause if I can't come to you, where else can I go?
Ever since we been apart boy life ain't fair
Remember when you left, remember what I said
I said that I didn't care
Yes I said a lot of things, but half of them I didn't mean
And right now I couldn't be more sinceer, listen to me
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I remember when you told me that you love me (ooh ooh ooh)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
[Verse 2:]
The fussin and fightings on you,
Yes there were things I did wrong, but still you had your faults
And at times you couldn't take truth
I swore that I was in control, just knew I was invincible
But two or three months alone and I just wanted you back home
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (ooh boy you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (yes you did, yes you did)
I remember when you told me that you love me (oh boy)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy (me-e ooh)
[Bridge:]
... baby I miss you... and when I see you with her
All I do is... and put the blame all on myself (yea, heh)
[Chorus:]
The first time I ever had my heart broken it was by you boy, you boy(it was the moment you walked away baby, baby)
And the first time I ever had a real kiss, it was you boy (I remember you taught me)
You taught me how to treat somebody sweet, (you taught me how to treat somebody sweet)
I remember when you told me that you love me (I remember, do you remember)
And if I knew everything that I know right now back then,
You would probably still be with me boy
(Me boy, me boy, me boy, ohhh me boy, me boy, me boy
And I would probably still be with you boy, you boy, you boy
Said if I knew everything that I know right now back then
