- Brown Dog
Was early in november, the leaves were on the ground,
I couldn't get up, I just gotten down,
I'm all alone, been waitin by the phone, waitin for your calls eventualy
You filled me with worry, You filled me with fear,
I'm not standing still, and I'm not staying here
Outta my way, I can't take it no more,
So brown dog barkin at the back door, brown dog barkin at the back door (come on!)
- Foggy Dew
The Foggy Dew (Irish traditional)
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 dread tattoo,
- Follow Me Up To Carlow
Lift MacCahir Og your face
You're brooding o'er you're old disgrace
That black FitzWilliam stormed your place,
He sent you to the Fern.
Grey said victory was sure
Soon the firebrand he'd secure;
Until he met at Glenmalure
With Fiach MacHugh O'Byrne.
- I'll Tell Me Ma
I'll tell me Ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone.
They pull my hair, they stole my comb,
But that's alright till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courtin' one, two, three
- If I Should Fall from Grace with God
If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
- Ill Tell Me Ma
I'll tell me Ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone.
They pull my hair, they stole me comb,
But that's alright till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of *Belfast* city
She is courtin' one, two, three
- Leaving Of Liverpool
Farewell to Princes' landing stage River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California, a place I know right well
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before, I think I know him well
- One and Only
Didn't happen over night, its been happening all her life
Can't tell her friends at school. Their remarks are so cruel.
Why does he treat her so, and does her mother know
Still daddys little girl. All smiles and baby curls
Her bedrooms open wide
There's nowhere she can hide
Her mind leaves like a bird
- Pair Of Brown Eyes
One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
- Raggle Taggle Gypsy
There were three young gypsies came to our hall door,
They came brave and boldly O.
And there's one sang high and the other sang low
And the Lady's seen the raggle-taggle gypsy O
It was upstairs and downstairs the Lady went
Put on her suit of leather, O
It was the cry all around her door
- Rosie
Now Rosie, You're losin' the spot, love;
The fire used to burn in your eye.
Now, tell me you haven't stopped dreamin'
That you still reach out for the sky
For this life, it's no bed of roses,
It's not all it's cracked up to be
But in the end there's always you and me...
- Saints And Sinners
Two days' double, stayin outta trouble
gather in a huddle, tryin to keep a hold o' your man
Look what your given, nothing forbidden,
who you kiddin, now that's livin it fine
And it's not too late, Let's make up like we were best friends,
Then break up in the bitter end, and I'll throw it all away
- The Leaving of Liverpool
Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage
Mersey River, fare thee well
I am bound for California
but I know that I'll return someday
(It's a place that I know right well)
Chorus:
- Waxies Dargle
SAYS MY AUL' ONE TO YOUR AUL' ONE
"WILL YE COME TO THE WAXIE'S DARGLE?"
SAYS YOUR AUL' ONE TO MY AUL' ONE
"SURE I HAVEN'T GOT A FARTHIN;
I WENT UP TO MONTO TOWN
TO SEE YOUNG KILL MCARDLE
BUT HE WOULDN'T GIVE ME HALF A CROWN
TO GO TO THE WAXIE'S DARGLE
- Whiskey In The Jar
As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains
I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier
Saying "Stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver
Chorus:
musha ring dumma do damma da
whack for the daddy 'ol
