- As I Roved Out
As I roved out on a May morning
On a May morning right early
I spied my love upon the way
Oh Lord but she was early.
Her shoes were black, her stockings white
Her buckles shone like silver
She had a dark and rovin' eye
And her earrings touched her shoulders.
- Galway To Graceland
Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered a men
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again
Twenty years married and she never thought twice
She sneaked out the door and walked into the night
And silver wings carried her over the sea
From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennessee
To be with her sweetheart, oh she left everything
From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
- Gucci
Two-tone leopard with your soul of fire
You’re a wanton giver of a shiver delivered
To a skin-covered spine in a moment’s tingle
You face a haunty taunt
Sing-song laughing and a life-lined stranger
And a rippin’ and a sippin’ and a looky no touchy
With a rolled off dance and the freedom to show you love
- Irish Pub Song
Well you walk into a city street, you could be in Poru
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's ment for you,
And you drom what you were doing and you join the merry mob,
And before you know just where you are, your in an Irish pub.
Chorus
They've got one in Holalulu they've got one in Moscow too,
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Katmando
- Leaving Of Liverpool
Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for California
It's a place that I know right well
Chorus:
So fare thee well, my own true love
And when I return united we will be
- Red Is the Rose
Chorus
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is fairer than any.
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
- Star Of The County Down
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One evening last July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by.
She looked so neat in her two bare feet
To the sheen of her nut-brown hair
Such a coaxing elf, I'd to shake myself
To make sure I was standing there.
- The Green Fields of France
Well, how do you do, young Willie McBride?
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while 'neath the warm summer sun?
I've been walking all day and I'm nearly done
I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the great fallen in 1916
I hope you died well and I hope you died clean
Or, young Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
- The Irish Pub
Well, you're walkin' through a city street, you could be in Peru
And you hear a distant calling and you know it's meant for you
Then you drop what you were doing and you join the merry mob
And before you know just where you are, you're in an Irish pub
(Chorus)
They've got one in Honolulu, they've got one in Moscow too
They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Kathmandu
- The Irish Rover
In the year of our lord eighteen hundred and six
We set sail from the coal quay of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall of New York
We had an elegant craft
She was rigged fore and aft
And oh, how the wild winds drove her
She had twenty seven masts
- The Little Beggarman
Die di die di diddle diddle dum
Di die di die di diddle diddle dum.
Diddle dum di diddle diddle dum
Die di die di diddle diddle dum
Di die di die di diddle diddle dum.
Diddle dum di diddle diddle dum
- The Parting Glass
Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm I've ever done,
alas it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit
to mem'ry now I can't recall;
So fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be to you all.
- The Rising Of The Moon
"O come tell me Sean O'Farrell,
tell me why you hurry so?"
"Hush ma bouchal, hush and listen"
And his cheeks were all aglow
"I bear orders from the Capt'n
Get you ready quick and soon
For the pikes must be together
By the rising of the moon"
- The Rocky Road to Dublin
In the merry month of June, From me home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, Kissed me darlin' mother,
Drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born,
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblins,
A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin' o'er the bogs,
Frightenin' all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin.
- The Wild Rover
I ve been a wild rover for many's a year
And Ive spent all me money on whiskey and beer,
And now I'm returning with gold in great store,
And I never willplay the wild rover no more
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
