"Lovely Leitrim" is a 1966 country song written by Philip Fitzpatrick and performed by Irish showband singer Larry Cunningham and his band, The Mighty Avons.

[1] The song is written from the point of the view of a member of the Irish diaspora dreaming that he has returned to County Leitrim, Ireland.

Sites in the county mentioned include Lough Allen, the River Shannon, Carrick-on-Shannon, Sheemore and Fenagh.

[3] The singer Larry Cunningham was actually from nearby County Longford, not from Leitrim; his mother taught him the song.

[4] "Lovely Leitrim" was released by Cunningham in September 1965, and was number one on the Irish Singles Chart for two weeks in January 1966.
