1.Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
So fare thee well, my own true love
I'll think of you night and day
Farewell to old Ireland
Good-bye to you, Bannastrant
No time to look back
Facing the wind, fighting the waves
May heaven protect us all
From cold, hunger and angry squalls
Pray I won't be lost
Wind in the sails, carry me safe
Chorus：
So fare thee well, my own true love
I'll think of you night and day
A place in my mind you will surely find
Although I am so far away
And when I'm alone far away from home
I'll think of the good times once more
Until I can make it back someday here
To Paddy's green shamrock shore
Out now on the ocean deep
Ship's noise makes it hard to sleep
Tears fill up my eyes
The image of you won't go away
(Chorus)
New York is in sight at last
My heart, it is pounding fast
Trying to be brave
Wishing you near
By my side, a stór
(Chorus)
Until I can make it back someday here
To Paddy's green shamrock shore
2.Will Ye Go Lassie Go？
Chorus (after each verse)：
Will ye go, lassie, go？
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie, go？
I will build my love a bower
Near yon pure crystal fountain
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain
If my true love, she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Oh the summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
3.Galway To Graceland
Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered, 'Amen'
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again
Twenty years married and she never thought twice
She slipped out of the back door and 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 she left everything
She went from Galway to Graceland to be with the king
She was humming 'Suspicion', the song she loved best
She had 'Elvis, I love you' tattooed on her breast
When they landed in Memphis her heart beat so fast
She had dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last
And she knelt by his graveside day after day
And come closing time they would pull her away
To be with her sweetheart, she left everything
She went from Galway to Graceland to be with the king
In their thousands they came from the whole human race
Just to pay their respects at his last resting place
But blindly she knelt there and she told him her dreams
And she thought that he answered her, or that's how it seemed
And when they dragged her away, it was handcuffs this time
She said, 'My dear man, are you out of your mind？
Don't you know that we're married？ See, I'm wearing his ring？
I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the king
I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the king'
4.The Black Velvet Band
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed to trade I was bound
Oh many an hour's sweet happiness
Have I spent in that neat little town
But 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
Chorus (after each verse)：
Her eyes, they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
I took a stroll down Broadway
Oh meaning not long for to stay
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid
Come a-traipsing along the highway
She was both fair and handsome
Her neck, it was just like a swan's
And her hair, it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
(Chorus)
So I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid
And a gentleman, passing us by
Oh I knew that she meant the undoing of him
By the look in her roguish black eye
A gold watch she took from his pocket
And slipped it right into my hand
And the very first thing that I said was
'Bad cess to the black velvet band'
(Chorus)
Seven long years' penal servitude
I spent down in Van Dieman's Land
Far away from my friends and relations
Betrayed by the black velvet band
(Chorus 2x)
5.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 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 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,
One two three four five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dublin, Whack fol lol le rah!
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight me spirits bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure,
keep me heart from sinking;
That's the Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
An' asked if I was hired, wages I required
'Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dublin,
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city.
Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality;
Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality.
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind,
No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobblin'
Enquiring for the rogue, said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin,
From there I got away, me spirits never falling,
Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing.
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he;
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy.
Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
When off Holyhead wished meself was dead,
Or better far instead
on the rocky road to Dublin,
Whack fol lol le rah!
6.Marie's Wedding
Chorus：
Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Mairi's wedding
(Chorus)
Over hillways up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shielings through the town
All for sake of Mairi
(Chorus)
Red her cheeks as rowans are
Bright her eyes as any star
Fairest of them all by far
Is our darling Mairi
(Chorus 2x)
Oh plenty herring, plenty meal
Plenty peat to fill her creel
Plenty bonny bairns as well
That's the toast for Mairi
(Chorus 6x)
7.Fields Of Glory
I was born in a country where people admire
Their great sporting heroes and how they aspire
To stand upon mountains and always be winners
And never give less than their all
I once met an old man who told me great stories
Of legends of old who played hard for the glory
Of lifting the cup in that moment of triumph
These memories kept me enthralled
Chorus：
On the fields, the fields of glory
On the fields where boys become men
On the fields, the fields of glory
May the best team win, win in the end
Supporting their team with a true sense of place
Are the handfuls of people with pride on their faces
They come from the townlands, the parrish, the village
Their banners they proudly unfurl
An anthem of hope is the song they are singing
The whistle, it sounds and the game, it begins
And the roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens
It sends out a clarion call
(Chorus)
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
A crowd of young lads playing football together
All hoping that someday the call they will answer
To play for the place they were born
(Chorus)
I'm dreaming of Ireland in fine summer weather
A crowd of young lads playing football together
The roar of the crowd echoes up to the heavens
It sends out a clarion call
8.Ar Eireann Ni Neosainn Ce Hi
Aréir is mé téarnamh ar neoin
Ar ar dtaobh eile 'en teóra seo thiós
Do thaobhnaigh an spéirbhean im' chomhair
D'fhág taomanac breoite lag tinn
Le haon ghean dá méin is dá cló
Dá bréithre 's dá beol tanaí binn
Do léimeas fá dhéin dul 'na treo
Is ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí
Last night in strange fields as I roved
Such a vision I passed on my way
A young woman so fair to behold
That in seconds my heart was astray
Oh she reached out a welcoming hand
But I knew that it never could be
And before I could kiss her sweet lips
She had vanished forever from me
9.The Little Beggarman
I am a little beggarman, a-begging I have been
For three score or more in this little isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey down to Segue
And I'm known by the name of old Johnny Dhu
Of all the trades that's going, I'm sure begging is the best
For when a man is tired, he can sit down and rest
He can beg for his dinner, he has nothing else to do
Only cut around the corner with his old rig-a-doo
I slept in the barn right down at Caurabawn
A wet night came on and I slept until the dawn
With holes in the roof and the rain coming through
And the rats and the cats, they were playing peek-a-boo
When who did I waken but the woman of the house
With her white spotty apron and her calico blouse
She began to frighten, I said, 'Boo
Ara, don't be afraid, ma'am, it's only Johnny Dhu'
I met a little flaxy-haired girl one day
'Good morning, little flaxy-haired girl,' I did say
'Good morning, little beggarman, and how do you do
With your rags and your tags and your old rig-a-doo？'
I'll buy a pair of leggings and a collar and a tie
And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by
I'll buy a pair of goggles, I'll color them blue
And an old-fashioned lady I will make her, too
Over the road with me pack on me back
Over the fields with me great, heavy sack
With holes in me shoes and me toes peeping through
Singing, 'Skinny-me-rink-a-doodle-o and old Johnny Dhu'
I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night
The fire's all raked and out goes the light
So now you've heard the story of me old rig-a-doo
'It's good-bye and God be with you,' says old Johnny Dhu
10.The Beggarman Jig
(Instrumental)
11.The Auld Triangle
A hungry feeling came o'er me stealing
And the mice were squealing in my prison cell
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
To begin the morning the screw was bawling
'Get up, ya bowsie, and clean up your cell'
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
The screw was peeping, Humpy Gussy was sleeping
As I lay there dreaming of my girl, Sal
And the old triangle went jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
Up in the female prison there are seventy-five women
And 'tis among them I wish I did dwell
Then the old triangle could go jingle jangle
All along the banks of the royal canal
All along the banks of the royal canal
12.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 memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
Chorus：
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
'Good night and joy be to you all'
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
'Good night and joy be to you all'
(Chorus)
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
'Good night and joy be to you all'
(Chorus)
Good night and joy be to you all
13.The Wild Rover
Chorus (after each verse)：
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
I've been a wild rover for many's a year
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
I went into an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
'Such a custom as yours I could have any day'
Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, 'I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke, they were only in jest'
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
(Chorus 3x)
