- Erin Gra mo Chroi
Erin Grá Mo Chroí
(Ireland of My Heart)
in the evening sun
when my daily work was done
i rambled to the seashore for a walk
and i being all alone
i sat down upon this stone
- Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves
I was born in the wagon of a travellin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel,
And sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good
[CHORUS]
Gypsys, tramps, and thieves
- Red-haired Mary
As I was going to the fair of Dingle one fine morning last July,
A fine young man come up behind me "Red-haired Mary," he did cry.
"Will you come with me my red-haired Mary, the donkey, he can carry two",
I looked at him, my eyes did twinkle, me cheeks they were a rosy hue
"Thank you kindly sir" I answered, then I tossed me light red hair,
Saying "Will you hold the donkey and I'll ride with you to the Dingle fair".
- The Banks of the Sweet Viledee
Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, my love, by thee
I've just arrived from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
Now I could have married a great king's daughter
And have myself to blame
And it's tons of gold I have refused
- The Cat She Went A-Hunting
The cat she went a-hunting and found the barn a-blazing
In fact she's come a-calling, a-calling, a-calling
Wake up farm boys! The barn is burning down!
The rats came out in their hundreds and the cat she caught a-plenty
She's got the artful dodger, the dodger, the dodger
She spied him in the burning hay the barn is burning down!

I listed in the Navy a sailor lad to stand
For to hear the cannons rattle and the music so grand
The music so grand, the music so grand
- The Queen and The Soldier
"The Queen & The Soldier"
The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
He said, "I am not fighting for you any more"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.
He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
