- Betsy Bell And Mary Gray
Betsy Bell and Mary Gray
They were bonnie lasses
They built them a bower on yon burn-side
They theeked it all over wi' rashes (theeked - thatched)
They theeked it all over wi' rashes green
They theeked it all over wi' heather
The plague cam' from the borough town
And slew them both together
- Broken Wings
A tall tree
Turn and face the west
Oh we're running with the wind
On high cliff top
We're waiting with the rest
For this journey to begin
-Chorus-
- Carrigdhoun
The heath was green on Carrigdhoun
Bright shone the sun o’er Ard-na-Lee
The dark green trees bent trembling down
To kiss the slumbering Own na Buidhe
That happy day – ’twas but last May
Now it’s like a dream to me
When Donal swore, aye o’er and o’er
We’d part no more, a stór mo chroí
- Fast Grow
There's no but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
That signifies the life of man
and twere not for the lassies oh
-Chorus-
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
- Green Grow The Rushes Oh
Robert Burns
Green Grow The Rushes Oh
Chorus (after each verse):
Green grow the rushes O
Green grow the rushes O
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Were spent among the lassies O
- The Galway Rover
I've the face of a stranger with a smile of a rover
I'll take a glass at down Kinvara and a jug at Oughterard
Down the great donkey roads though the hills of Connemara
To my dark Spanish handsome love way down in Galway town
Chorus (after each verse):
Where Jimmy is me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
- Trasna Na Dtonnta
Curfá:
Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar,
Slán leis an uaigneas ‘is slán leis an gcian;
Geal é mo chroí, agus geal í an ghrian,
Geal a bheith ag filleadh go hÉirinn!
Chonaic mo dhóthain de Thíortha i gcéin,
Ór agus airgead, saibhreas an tsaoil,
