- A Gentleman Soldier
It's of a gentlemen soldier as a sentry he did stand
He saluted the fair maid be a wavin' of the hand
So boldly then he kissed and he passed it off as a joke
He drilled her up in the sentry box, wrapped up a the
Soldiers coat
And the drums did go with a rat-ta-ta-tat and the fifes
Did loudly play,
Fare thee well Polly me dear I must be going away
- A Song For Ireland
Walking all the day
near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver wings they fly,
They know the call for freedom in their breasts,
Saw Black Head against the sky
Where twisted rocks they run down to the sea
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sun sets, I asked for more,
- All For Me Grog
Название напитка происходит от прозвища британского вице-адмирала Эдварда Вернона (Edward Vernon; 1684—1757) — «Олд Грог» (Old Grog). В те времена в ежедневный рацион моряков Британского Королевского флота входила порция рома, что периодически вызывало дисциплинарные проблемы и пьянство матросов. Чтобы уменьшить влияние алкоголя на моряков, адмирал Вернон приказал раздавать ром только разбавленным водой, холодной или горячей, в зависимости от ситуации. Напиток полюбился морякам, пользуясь особой популярностью в холодное время года. В честь плаща из фая, который адмирал Вернон носил в плохую погоду и который по-английски назывался grogram cloak, смесь рома с водой стали называть «грогом».

The Dubliners - All For Me Grog
Well it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog,
- And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
When I was a young man I carried me pack
And I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in 1915 my country said: Son,
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war
- Black Velvet Band
Well, in a neat little town they call Belfast, apprentice to trade I was bound
Many an hours sweet happiness, have I spent in that neat little town
A sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
- Boolavogue
At Boolavogue, as the sun was setting
O'er the bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
A rebel hand set the heather blazing
And brought the neighbours from far and near.
Then Father Murphy, from old Kilcormack,
Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry;
"Arm! Arm!" he cried, "For I've come to lead you,
For Ireland's freedom we fight or die."
- Boots Of Spanish Leather
Oh, I'm sailin' away my own true love,
I'm sailin' away in the morning.
Is there something I can send you from across the sea,
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love,
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'.
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled,
- Boulavogue
BOULAVOGUE
(P.J.McCall)
At Boulavogue, as the sun was setting
O'er bright May meadows of Shelmalier,
A rebel hand set the heather blazing
And brought the neighbors from far and near.
Then Father Murphy, from old Kilcormack,
Spurred up the rocks with a warning cry;
- Carrickfergus
I wish I was in Carrickfergus,
Only for nights in Ballygrant
I would swim over the deepest ocean,
Only for nights in Ballygrant,
But the sea is wide and I cannot cross over
And neither have I the wings to fly
I wish i could meet a handsome boatsman
To ferry me over, my love to find.
- Cod Liver Oil
I'm a young married man and I'm tired of me life
For lately I married an ailing young wife,
She does nothing all day, only sits down and sigh
Saying I wish to the lord that I only could die.
Oh doctor, dear doctor, oh doctor De'Jung
Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong
I'm afraid of me life, I'll go down in the soil
- Come And Join The British Army
When I was young, I used to be,
As fine a man as ever you'd see,
'til the Prince of Wales, he said to me,
Come and join the British army.
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo,
They're lookin' for monkeys up in the zoo,
And since when have I had a face like you?
- Dicey Reilly
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Oh poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
For it's off each morning to the pop
And then she's in for another little drop
For the heart of the rowl is Dicey Reilly
Oh she walks along Fitzgibbon street with an independent air
And then it's down be Summerhill and as the people stare
- Dirty Old Town
I met my love by the gas yard wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town
Dirty old town
Heard a siren from the dock
Saw a train set the night on fire
- Don't Get Married
Don't get married girls
You'll sign away your life
You may start off as a woman
But you'll end up as the wife
You could be a vestal virgin
Take the veil and be a nun
But don't get married girls
For marriage isn't fun
- Donegal Danny
This song is about a man who was the only survivor when a fishing boat was destroyed in a storm. When he got back to shore he never went back to sea again and he became very melancholy and he just tramped around the roads of Donegal. Whenever he was having a few pints he would retell the whole story of the disaster over and over again. His name was Danny, so they called him Donegal Danny.

Eileen Og
(Percy French)
Eileen Og an' that the darlin's name is
Through the Barony her features they were famous
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?
But her beauty made us all so shy
Not a man could look her in the eye
- Farewell to Carlingford

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young girl calling
Micheal they are taking you away
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
So the young might see the morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Chorus:
- Finnegan's Wake
Ah Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street
A gentleman Irish mighty odd
Well, he had a tongue both rich and sweet
An' to rise in the world he carried a hod
Ah but Tim had a sort of a tipplin' way
With the love of the liquor he was born
An' to send him on his way each day
He'd a drop of the craythur every morn
- Foggy Dew
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
There Armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out through the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through
- Go To Sea No More
When first I landed in Liverpool, I went upon a spree
Me money alas I spent it fast, got drunk as drunk could be
And when that me money was all gone, 'twas then I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Once more, boys, once more, go to sea once more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more

Whether on the scaffold high

Oh what matter when for Erin dear we fall?
High upon the gallows tree

O Polly love, O Polly, the road has now begun
And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum

My feet they are so tender, I cannot march away
And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee
- Home Boys Home
Oh well, who wouldn't be a sailor lad a sailin' on the main
To gain the good will of his captain's good name?

And it's home,boys,home
Home I'd like to be home for a while
In me me own country
- Humpty Dumpty
Have you heard of one Humpty Dumpty
How he fell with a roll and a rumble
And curled up like Lord Olofa Crumple
By the butt of the Magazine Wall
Of the Magazine Wall/Hump, helmet and all?
He was one time our King of the Castle
- I'll Tell Me Ma
I'll tell me ma, when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
Pulled me hair, stolen me comb
But that's alright, till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Pray, want you tell me who is she?
- I'm a Rover
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, there's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to roam
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, intae the erms of me ain true love
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble, intae the erms of my ane true love

Well you walk into a city street, you could be in Poru

They got four of them in Sydney and a couple in Katmando

- Killkelly
Kilkelly, Ireland, 1860, my dear and loving son John.
Your good friend schoolmaster Pat MacNamara is so good as to write these words down.
Your brothers have all got a fine work in England, the house is so empty and sad.
The crop of potatoes is sorely infected, a third to a half of them bad.
And your sister Bridged and Patrick O'Donnell are going to be married in June.
Mother says not to work on the railroad and be sure to come on home soon.
Kilkelly, Ireland, 1870, my dear and loving son John.
- Leaving Nancy
In comes the train and the whole platform shakes
It stops with a shudder and a screaming of brakes
The parting has come and my weary soul aches
I'm leaving my Nancy, oh
But you stand there so calmly determinedly gay
You talk of the weather and events of the day
And your eyes tell me all that your tongue doesn't say

The maid of the sweet brow knowe'
- Many Young Men Of Twenty
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
On that long day
From break of dawn until the sun was high
Many young men of twenty said goodbye
They loved the mountains and the glens
The lassies and the fine young men.
I saw the tear of every girl and boy
- Master McGrath
Eighteen sixty nine being the date anf the year,
Those Waterloo sportsmen and more did appear,
For to gain the great prizes and bear them awa',
Never counting on Ireland and Master McGrath.

A gale in the Channel, it soon drove them o'er,

Oh come all ye late fellows that follows the gun
Beware of night ramblin' by the setting of the sun
Beware of an accident as happened of late

She'd been gone to her uncle's when a storm it came on
She drew under a green bush the shower for to shun
With her white apron wrapped around her he took her for a swan
- Molly Malone
In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow, through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
«Alive, alive, oh, Alive, alive, oh»,
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
- Molly Malone OST Preacher
In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty,

Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"

Give yer man the order "Back to the Quay"
And take her up to Monto, Monto, Monto,
Take her up to Monto, langeroo, to you.
- Nora
Oh the violets were scenting the woods, Nora
Displaying their charm to the bee
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glade, Nora
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you, Nora
- On Raglan Road
On Raglan Road of an Autumn day I saw her first and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue
I saw the danger and I passed along the enchanted way
And I said "Let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day"
On Grafton Street in November we tripped lightly along the ledge
Of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion play
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts and I not making hay

Far and wide as the eye can wander,

Marching with our spades to the moor.

Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure
A massing treasure why scrape and save?
Why look so canny at ev'ry penny?
You'll take no money within the grave
Landlords and gentry with all their plenty
Must still go empty where e'er they're bound
So to my thinking we'd best be drinking
Our glasses clinking and round and round
- Protect and Survive
Well the government's made a document
To help prevent embarrassment
And in the event of an accident
Catching us with our trousers down

Protect and survive
- Rocky Road To Dublin
While in the merry month of May from me home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted.
Saluted father dear, kissed me darling 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 black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins;
Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs
And frightening all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.

About right or wrong or any holy show
He swore that grabbing booty was Britain's foremost duty
Wherever she could get it, heave-ye-ho

And of the U.N. Warriors, the heroes of recent years

He goes whistling and singing over yonder leafy shade
He met with pretty Susan, she's handsome I declare

Those were happy days in so many many ways
in the town I have loves so well.
