When I dream, I'll be dreaming of Noreen
And the love that I'm leaving behind me
And the twilight will always remind me
Of my Noreen Mo Stoirin; my love
Ev'ry night, I'll be dreaming of Noreen
And the way I would cuddle and kiss her
Ev'ry bone in my body will miss her;
My Noreen Mo Stoirin; my love
I cursed the day that I left her
And the people who drove me away
It's worse than I ever imagined
Oh God, it gets harder each day
I cursed the day that I left her
And the people who drove me away
It's worse than I ever imagined
Oh God, it gets harder each day
So I pray when my exile is over
With the pain and the heartache behind us
Back in the peace of the valley, you'll find us;
My Noreen Mo Stoirin, and me
Back in the peace of the valley,
That's where we will be;
Gonna take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
Im gonna take a little time
I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Cos I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
And I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
And I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I know you can show me
I want to feel what love is
And I know you can show me
Wanna feel what love is
Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With people here workin' by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
But for all that I found there I might as well be
In the place where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea.
There's beautiful girls here, Oh never you mind
Beautiful shapes nature never designed
lovely complexions of roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same
That if at that those roses you venture to sip
The colours might all come away on your lips
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
In the place where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea.
You remember young Davey Mc Clarin of course
Well sure, now, he's round here with the rest of the force
I saw him one day as I was crossin' the strand
And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand
And as we stood talkin' of days that are gone
The whole town of London stood there to look on
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweep down to the sea
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
Those mighty cedars bleedin' in the heat
They're showing pictures on the television
Women and children dying in the street
And we're still at it in our own place
Still tryin' to reach the future through the past
Still tryin' to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...
But Hey! Don't listen to me! this wasn't meant to be no sad song .
We've heard too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
'Till the morning dew comes falling And I wanna take you to the island
Trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when the sun goes down
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna' fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...
But Hey! Don't listen to me! 'cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song .
I've sung too much of that before
Right now I only want to be here with you
Till the morning dew comes falling I wanna take you to the island
And trace your footprints in the sand
And in the evening when there's no one around
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom...
Freedom...
Freedom
The moonlight dances among the trees
The campfire glows in the autumn breeze
and I am lost in my thoughts of you
Remember me, recuerda me
A comrade strums on a sad guitar
My mind is drifting to where you are
I’m holding you as I used to do
remember me, recuerda me, mi amor!
So long ago, so far away, each night I pray
"volvero los dias passoados"
I promise you that come what may
those days will stay ever in my memory
In all this world I could never find,
the love that I had to leave behind
But duty calls, so whate'er befalls
remember me, recuerda me, mi amor
God only knows what tomorrow brings
You’re in my heart so my spirit sings
and I’ll be strong just as long as you
So see the leaves fall to the ground,
And see them lyin' all around,
'Cos still I can't see you,
And there's the wind that plays in the air,
Flying around, how it does not care
Still I can't see you
And the seasons pass away
And I still sit here lonely, each and every day,
Wonderin' what's gone wrong.
'Cos I don't remember seasons lastin' oh so long
Oh so long.
And I still can't see you
(I'm dreamin' every night, I'm searchin' every day)
And I still can't see you
(I had her in my sights, and let her slip away)
And I still can't see you
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
And there's the stars way in the sky
Leading my way and I don't know where or why
Still I can't see you.
And when my back's against the wall
I see a reason for it all
But I still can't see you
And I still can't see you
(I'm dreamin' every night, I'm searchin' every day)
And I still can't see you
(I had her in my sights, and let her slip away)
And I still can't see you
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
Lauren and I
[Irish Verse:]
Buachaill ón Eirne mé's bhréagfainn féin cailín deas óg
Né iarfainn bó spré léithe tá mé saibhir go leor 'S liom
Corcaigh a mhéid e , dhá thaobh a ghleanna's Tír Eoghain
'S mur n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oibhr ar Chontae
Mhaigh Eo
[English translation:]
I am a boy from Ireland and I'd coax a nice young girl,
I wouldn't ask for a dowry with her, I'm rich enough myself,
I own Cork, big as it is both sides of the glen and Tyrone,
And if I don't change my ways I'll be the heir for County Mayo.)
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free.
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea,
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun;
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song.
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long,
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains.
The stories of old, fill the heart and may yet come again,
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won;
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
And, the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done.
You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too late
For your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows how I've tried
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
I know, it's hard to understand
Why did we ever start?
We're more like strangers now
Each acting out a part
I have laughed, I have cried
I have lost every game
I’ve taken all I can take
But I'll stay just the same
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through that hell
Life is no fairytale
As one day you will know
But now you're just a child
I'll stay here and watch you grow
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
True you ride the finest horse I’ve ever seen
Standing 16' one or two, with eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night, without a trace behind
Run you claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space, where you used to lie
I look for the spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in your eye
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Cause' I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going thru
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they can't defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
How I love you
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
How I love you
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I?m tired of castles in the air
I?ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
A dream come true, I?ll live there till I die
I?m asking you to say my last goodbye
Though loving you ain?t worth another try
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I?m weak, but I can?t face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can?t remain
Perhaps she?ll understand if you tell it to her plain
But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning?
In the hills, away from city strife
I need a country woman for my wife
I?m city born, but I love the country life
For I cannot be part of this cocktail generation
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance
The music plays and everyone must dance
I?m bowing out and I need a second chance
Save me from all the trouble and the pain
I know I?m weak, but I can?t face that girl again
Tell her the reasons why I can?t remain
Perhaps she?ll understand if you tell it to her plain
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I?m tired of castles in the air
I?ve got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair
Oh, Danny boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone
And all the roses falling
Tis you, tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so
They say for ev'ry boy and girl
There's just one love in this whole world
And I know I found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one could take your place
Ever in my heart
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Just one kiss from you're sweet lips
Will tell me that our love is real
And I can feel that it's true
For we will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, first love
And they called it puppy love
oh I guess they'll never know
how a young heart really feels
and why I love her so.
And they called it puppy love
just because we're in our teens
tell them all
please tell them it isn't fair
to take away my only dream
I cry each night
my tears for you!
My tears are all in vein.
I hope and I'll pray
that maybe someday
you'll be back in my arms once again
Someone help me, help me please
is the answer up above?
How can I
oh how can I tell them,
this is not a puppy love.
(SPOKEN) Someone help me! Help me!
(END OF SPOKEN) Help me please!
Is the answer up above?
How can I,
oh how can I tell them.....
This is not a puppy love.....
When you are 18
You're a man who is ready
Who is strong and who's steady
You know what I mean
When you are 18
then you should be respected
and you don't need protected
When you are 18
When you are 18
You are braver and bolder
Then that crowd who are older
You know who I mean
Cause when you are 18
With all those years to prepare you
There's nothin' can scare you
When you are 18
I'm ready to travel
To follow my star
To the places I've been dreamin' of
I'm ready for livin'
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love
But when you are 18
They say love's complicated
And so over-rated
You know what I mean
When you are 18
They say wait and don't worry
And Hey what's your hurry
'Cause you're only 18
I'm ready to travel
To follow my star
To places I've been dreamin' of
I'm ready for livin'
I'm ready for life
And I know that I'm ready for love
When you are 18
With the world all around you
It can sometimes astound you
You know what I mean
Just how much they don't know "Ha"
All those coyboys and chancers
I got more of the answers
And I'm only
This is the Moment
This is the the Day
When I send all my doubts and demons on their way
Every endeavor I have made ever
Is comming into place
Is here and now today.
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum
And the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this monent
This precious chance
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last
This the moment
When all I've done
All of the dreaming, scheming and screaming becomes one
This is the day
See it sparkle and shine
When all I lived for becomes mine
For all these years I've faced the world alone
And now the timehas come to prove to them I made it all on my own
This is the moment
My final test
Destiny beckons
I never reckon second best
I won't jump down
I must not fall
This is the moment
The sweetest moment of them all
This is the moment
Damn all the odds
This day you'll never
I'll sing forever with the gods
When I look back
I will always recall
Moment for moment
This was the moment
The greatest moment
I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
We hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set sail
With no maps to guide us, we steered our own course
We rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together, we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean, love is a boat
In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now, gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We built it with care to last the whole trip
Our crew destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating for the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean, love is a boat
In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
As I was a goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced my pistols then produced my rapier
I said "Stand there or deliver" for the devil, he may take you
Chorus:
Must you ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar o
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money
And I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me
And never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
for she know she treat me easy
(Chorus)
Round about six or maybe seven
In walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up
Fire low my pistol
And I shot him with both barrels
(Chorus)
Some men like the fishin'
Some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear
The cannon ball a-rollin'
Me, I like sleeping
'Specially in my Molly's chamber
Here I am in prison
Here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
The Dutchman's not the kind of man
To keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That holds his dreams in
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows
When Amsterdam is golden in the morning
Margaret brings him breakfast, she believes him
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow
He's mad as he can be
But Margaret only sees that sometimes
Sometimes she sees
Her unborn children in his eyes
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee
Long ago, I used to be a young man
But dear Margaret remembers that for me
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes
His cap and coat are patched with the love
That Margaret sewed him
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam
He watches tug-boats down canals
And calls out to them
When he thinks he knows the captain
'Til Margaret comes to take him home again
Through the unforgiving streets that trip him
Though she holds his arm
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and calls her name
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee
Long ago, I used to be a young man
But dear Margaret remembers that for me
Windmills whirl the winter wind
She winds his muffler tighter, they sit in the kitchen
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew
He sees her for a moment, calls her name
She makes his bed up singing some old love song
She learned it when the tune was very new
He hums a line or two
They hum together in the night
The Dutchman falls asleep
And Margaret blows the candle out
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee
Long ago, I used to be a young man
Come hither me boys, well, I'll make some old noise
And I'll tell you of stories would provoke you to ponder
Your station in life, should you e'er take a wife
Who would cause naught but strife and pull all joys asunder.
The boys of the Nation, with great trepidation,
Do swear that they ne'er will consent to be throthed.,
But when out cavorting, imbibing, and courting,
Their senses all dulled, they renege on their oath.
For the face of a blackguard may look worn and haggard,
But full is his soul as he tears on the spree,
He has no distraction to give satisfaction,
It's happy he is to live single and free.
At each wedding feast, as they call in the priest
To invoke marriage blessings, the boys wonder in silence
If God will allow this poor man take a vow
To surrender his will and be doomed to compliance.
For many's the bachelor gets into a match
For the glories of love and connubial bliss,
Too late to discover his wife's not his lover
And he wishes his Missus was still just a Miss.
There was young Packy Hayes, all singin' the praise
Of the wee lass who's father was cursed with the naggin',
We knew if he married himself would be harried,
His songs now lament that his spirits are draggin'.
For the new Mrs. Hayes had a mouth full of nays
That she learned from her mother, a creature displeasin',
Their schemes and their plots tied Packy in knots,
They'd prevent peace from pleasin' his soul any season.
So young men take care if a wedding you dare,
Pick a girl that was raised to take great joy in life.
The woman you wed should delight in your bed,
And not stand on your hand like poor Packy's wife.
And you old ones take warning, lest you be left mourning
That no man will wed or take your daughter's hand,
If you will impart the goodwill of your heart
Theres a spot in[ old Tir conaell,there's a wee house in the glen,
Where dwelt an fairest colleen,who charmed the hearts of men,
She was winsome hale and hearty,shy and graceful as the dawn,
Neighbours loved that widow's daughter,happy laughing Noreen Bawn.
Till one day there came a letter,with her passage paid to go,
To the land where the Missouri,and the Mississipy flows,
Then she said goodbye to Ireland,and next morning at the door,
That old mother broken hearted,bid farewell to Noreen Bawn.
Many years that mother waited,till oneevening at the door,
Stood a gorgeous looking lady,costly were the clothes she wore,
Saying mother dont you know me,for I've only got a cold,
But thoes purple spots upon her cheeks,the tragic story's told.
Theres a graveyard in Tir Conaill,where the blossoms sadly grow,
There's a sorrow stricken mother,kneeling o're that lonely grave.
My Noreen,oh my Noreen its lonesome since you've gone,
I just dropped in to see you all
I'll only stay awhile
I want to hear how you're getting on
I want to see you smile
I'm happy to be back again
And greet you big and small
For there's no place else on this earth quite like
The homes of Donegal
I long to see your smiling children
Standing by the door
The kettle boiling on the hearth
As I walked up the floor
And then to see a waiting for me
Travellers one and all
For your heart's alive in your mountain size
In the homes of Donegal
I like to lie, lie along with you
While away at night
With fairy lore and tales of yore
Beside the surf fire bright
And then to see laid out for me
A shake-down by the wall
For there's rest for weary wanderers
In the homes of Donegal
Donegal, queen of all
Donegal, queen of all
Who is the stranger who breaks every rule?
The Highwayman
He isn’t a rogue, He isn’t a fool.
The Highwayman
He’s dashing and daring and ever may care.
The Highwayman
With a glint in his eye and the wind in his hair.
The Highwayman
Who is the highwayman? Who is the highwayman?
He’s rough but he’s handsome, he’s gentle but strong.
The Highwayman
They say he’s a nobleman who has gone wrong.
The Highwayman
He’ll take all your jewels but do it with style.
The Highwayman
As he pockets your diamonds he’ll flash you a smile.
The Highwayman
Who is the Highwayman? Who is the Highwayman?
I’ve never known anyone like him; he’s like no one that I’ve ever met.
How easy he’ll be to remember, how hard he will be to forget.
(break in lyrics)
He’s stolen from princes, he’s stolen from Earls.
The Highwayman
But his greatest pleasure is stealing from girls.
The Highwayman
You’ll feel empty inside when you see him divide.
The Highwayman
You may not realize but he’s stolen your heart.
The Highwayman
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
Burned are their homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.
They come from the farms and the factories tooThey all soon forget who they areThe cares of today, well, they're soon washed awayAs they sit at a stool by the bar
The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirtDoesn't look like she works on the landAnd the man at the end, he's a very good friendOf a man who sells cars second hand
Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the harborThere by the port just outside AmsterdamEveryone shares in the songs and the laughterEveryone there is so happy to be there
Well, the salesmen relax with a few pints of beerThey try not to talk about tradeThe poet won't write any verses tonightBut he may sing a sweet serenade
So pull up a chair and forget about lifeIt's a good thing to do now and thenAnd if you like it here then I have an ideaTomorrow let's all meet again
Down at the Red Rose Cafe in the harborThere by the port just outside AmsterdamEveryone shares in the songs and the laughterEveryone there is so happy to be there
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons
Old men go fishing with black line and spoons
And if they catch nothing they'll never complain
I wish I was with them again.
As boys in the boats call to girls on the shore
Teasing the ones that they dearly adore
And into the evening the courting begins
I wish I was with them again.
Chorus:
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira on soft summer nights
Bonfires blaze to the children's delight
They dance 'round the flames singing songs with their friends
I wish I was with them again
And over the ashes the stories are told
Of witches and werewolves and Oak Island gold
The stars on the river they sparkle and spin
I wish I was with them again
Chorus
Can you imagine a piece of the universe
More fit for princes and kings?
I'll trade you ten of your cities
For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings
Out on the Mira the people are kind
They'll treat you to home-brew and help you unwind
And if you come broken you'll see that you mend
I wish I was with them again
Now I'll conclude with a wish you go well
Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell
I'll leave you here, for my journey begins
I'm going to be with them again.

Love thee dearest, love thee
Yes, by yonder star I swear
Which through tears above thee
Shines so sadly fair
Thou, too, oft dimmed
With tears like him
Like him my truth will shine
And love thee, dearest, love thee
Yes – till death I’m thine.
Dormi amore dormi, Porta il fuore dove vuoi
Vola verso I sogni, Bella come sei
Tue sei per me la stella she
Per sempre brillera
Dormi amore dormi gia notte ormai
Dimmi amore dimmi, Che non te ne andrai mai piu
Quante notti insonni, Se mi manchi tu
Accanto a me le vuvole, Non torneranno mai
E sogna tutti I sogni, Che l’amore da
Every time you go away I know
It won't be for long though it seems,
And all the time we spend apart
That ticking tock clock seems to last for weeks.
Well I guess it would be wrong
To expect you to climb up here each week,
Yes I guess it ain't so long
Four hours on a bus for you's a treat.
And it wont be long
And it wont be long
All day long I sit here,
All day long I sit here,
All day long I sit here,
Thinkin' 'bout you.
Yes I know there's a million miles
And aeroplanes, they keep us apart,
But when I sit alone at night on my bus
Darling well you're in my heart.
And it won't be long
And it wont be long
All day long I sit here,
Thinkin' 'bout you.
So complicated times have passed,
I'm sorry babe I feel the same for you.
Yes I know I broke it off but I'm sorry babe
Ya just didn't stay true.
And it wont be long
And it wont be long
All day long I sit here,
In the town, the people stay away
From the midnight well.
For it’s dark and evil, so they say,
The midnight well.
They’ll tell you a tale of a lovely young maid,
The fairest that they’d ever known.
What a beauty they say,
But she went her own way
On that night, she set out on her own.
For they say she had a rendezvous
At the midnight well,
With a gypsy man she barely knew
At the midnight well.
Nobody knew where he came from,
But they remember the fire in his eye,
His earring of gold and his hair of coal,
And a look that could just hypnotize,
When he said,
CHORUS:
Come away, come away with me,
Come here and lay with me.
Come away out of the light.
Come away, come away with me,
Come and ride with me
Into the night.
Never more, they never saw her face,
At the midnight well.
She was gone, and never left a trace
At the midnight well.
They say when the summer nights come to an end,
And the harvest moon glows in the sky,
A black horse will appear and a sound you will hear
As the ghost of a gypsy rides by,
And he says

Once in the dear dead days beyond recall,
When on the world the mists began to fall,
Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng
Low to our hearts Love sang an old sweet song;
And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam,
Softly it wove itself into our dream.
Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,
comes Love's old sweet song.
Even today we hear Love's song of yore,
Deep in our hearts it dwells forevermore.
Footsteps may falter, weary grow the way,
Still we can hear it at the close of day.
So till the end, when life's dim shadows fall,
Love will be found the sweetest song of all.
Just a song a twilight, when the lights are low,
And the flick'ring shadows softly come and go,
Tho' the heart be weary, sad the day and long,
Still to us at twilight comes Love's old song,
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the Five and Ten
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And mom and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
Right within your heart
A pair of Hop-a-long boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Bonny and Ben
Dolls that will talk and go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jenn
And mom and dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the Carol that you sing
The candlelight is fading as I gently kneel and say
An Ave for my mother as her spirit slips away
Away to join my father and to share eternity
We call them kindred spirits now they will forever be
So now they're reunited, smiling down from up above
As fondly we remember the old house they filled with love
How even through the hard times they were close as close could be
Just like the kindred spirits they will forever be
Now love was as deep as the ocean
Flying higher than the eagles would dare
As strong as the mountains in Donegal
As soft as a morning in Clair
I can see her in the kitchen. I can smell the baking bread
I can hear my father singing as he tucked us into bed.
They shared the love together, they were proud as proud could be
And now those kindred spirits will share eternity.
They shared the love together, they were proud as proud could be
They were always kindred spirits now they will forever be.
Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
Hello again, hello
Just called to say 'hello'
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home
Hello
Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been thru it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear
Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say
Hello
Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run, I have called
I have scaled these city walls, these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips burn like a fire
This burning desire
I have spoken tongue of angles
I have held the hand of the devil
It's warm in the night, it's warm as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Oh my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
Ruined your black tie affair
Last one to know
Last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there
I saw the surprise
The fear in his eyes
When I took his last glass of champagne
I toasted to you honey we may be thorugh
You'd never hear me complain
Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer
Chases my blues away and I'll be ok
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Cause I got friends in low places
Well I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
Man, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
I'll be as high as that ivory tower
That you're livin in
Well I got friends in low place
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
My blues away and I'll be ok
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Cause I got friends in low places
Yeah I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer
Chases my blues away and I'll be ok
I'm not big on social graces and I'll
Slip on down to the oasis
Cause I got friends in low places
Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer
Chases my blues away and I'll be ok
I'm not big on social graces and I'll
Slip on down to the oasis
(Chant continues throughout)

Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear

Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
Hail the hero, strong and true
Who fought the fight and saw it through
Who swore he ne'er would be a slave
And gave his life, our land to save
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
From our wild Atlantic shore
Above the mighty ocean's roar
Let's sing from the highest mountainside
Of heroes who fill our hearts with pride
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
Ó chuaidh I gcéin mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo laoch mo Ghile Mear
Sé mo Cheasar, Ghile Mear,
Suan ná séan ní bhfuair me féin
As I'm sitting here in the firelight
And turning back the years
I can hear my mother singing in the morning
As she scrubbed our shining faces
And then packed us off to school
All too soon those days were over without warning
Sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our name
We were happy just the same
In our gold and silver days
In the parlor on a Friday night
My father took the floor
I can hear us join together in the chorus
Singing "Just a Song at Twilight"
Or "The Moon Behind the Hill"
Now those voices are all silenced, gone before us
Sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our name
We were happy just the same
In our gold and silver days
And we gathered at the Daisy Field
On Sunday after mass
I can hear the songs, the story's and the laughter
Through the years we all were scattered
But the friends we made back then
Were the friends we could rely on ever after
So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days
Days filled with innocence and light
Not a penny to our name
We were happy just the same
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
When I woke up I was all alone
With a broken heart and a ticket home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Everybody needs a little time away
I heard her say
From each other.
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other.
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you to stay.
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.
I couldn't stand being kept away
Not for a day
From your body.
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away
From the one that i love.
Hold me now
Its hard for me to say I'm sorry.
I just want you know.
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry.
I could never let you go.
After all that weve been through
I will make it up to you.
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you.
I promise to.
After all that's been said and done
You're just a part of me I can't let go.
After all that we've been through
I will make it up to you
I peromise to.
Buachaill o'n Eirne me 's bhreagfainn calin deas og
Ni iarrfainn bo spre lei ta me fhein saibhir go leor

Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the lochs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait 'til this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where legends remain
And the stories of old fill the heart and may yet come again
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
I'm lying alone
With my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too
But what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times in my life feel so low
It would make me believe that tomorrow could bring
What today doesn't really know
Doesn't really know
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm so out of love
What am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong
I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long lonley nights
I'm reachin for you
Hope you feeling it too
Does the feeling feel oh so right?
What would you say if I call on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I known you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong
Mmm what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you
I can't be too late to say I was so wrong
I'm all out of love
I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
Believeing for so long
I'm all out of love
What am I without you
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle-belling
And everyone telling you, Be of good cheer
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories
Of Christmases long, long ago
Long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time,
It's the most wonderful time,
It's the most wonderful time of the year Of the year
We wish you a Merry Christmas,

Good tidings we bring

Black is the color of my true love`s hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She`s the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
But some times I wish the day will come
That she and I will be as one
Black is the color of my true love`s hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She`s the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I walk to the Clyde for to mourn and weep
But satisfied I never can sleep
I'll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times
Black is the color of my true love`s hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She`s the sweetest face and the gentlest hands.
Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Tui, Jesus
Sancta Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
All the men just call him Sir
Chorus:
And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
(Repeat Chorus)
Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oo that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
Cause Leroy Brown learned a lesson
Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
(Repeat Chorus)
Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them off the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me
She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe you
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind
She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
Like a bird without wings That longs to be flying
Like a motherless child Left lonely and crying
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
I get so lonely when you're away
I count ev'ry moment; I wait ev'ry day
Until you're home again, and hug me so tight
That's when I know ev'rything is alright
Like a bird without wings That longs to be flying
Like a motherless child Left lonely and crying
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
You're my gaurdian angel, my light, and my guide
You're hand on my shoulder and you by my side
You make ev'rything beautiful; you make me complete
Ev'rything in my world I lay at you feet
Like a church with no steeple where a bell never rings
In a town without people where no voice In the choir Ever sings; if a boat on the ocean would be lost with
No sail, then Without your devotion surely
All that I dreamed of would fail
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost

as drunk as drunk can be
i saw a man runnin out the door
just after ten past three
i called my wife and says to her
will you kindly tell to me
who was that man runnin out the door
just after ten past three
ah your drunk your drunk
you silly old fool
and still you cannot see
thats the King of England
that mother sent to me
many the days i've traveled
a hundred miles or more
but an Englishman staying up past three
Mull of Kintyre lyrics
(chorus)
Mull of Kintyre
Oh, Midst rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh, Mull of Kintyre
Far have I traveled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts the sunsets on fire
As she carries me home to the mull of Kintyre
(chorus)
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life & the times of Mull of Kintyre
(drums & bagpipes playing)
Mull of Kintyre oooo
Mull of Kintyre oooo
Mull of Kintyre
(chorus)
'Twas Joey the Weasel that gave us the wire
They were closing our factory down
Though we didn't believe him and we called him a liar
The redundancy letters came round
As we read them in silence, I choked back a tear
It was hard to believe after twenty-odd years
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years
Now they've paid us back
By making us yesterday's men
Sure as hell By making us yesterday's men
So we said our goodbyes by the factory gates
One cold Friday evening last year
And I saw it all there in the eyes of ma mates
The anger, the sadness, the fear
Like our fathers before us we worked there with pride
Now we fought back the bitterness burning inside
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years
Now they've paid us back
By making us yesterday's men
Sure as hell By making us yesterday's men
Ah, now Jimmy, said she,
Give the kids a few bob,
After all, sure it is Friday night
But how could I tell her I was out of a job
From now on things were going to be tight
How well I remember it cut like a knife
I was never a day on the dole in my life
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years
Now they've paid us back
By making us yesterday's men
Sure as hell By making us yesterday's men
The machines now are silent, the workbenches bare
And there's dust on the factory floor
They've boarded the windows and have chained up the gates
And have padlocked the factory door
Now I'm on the scrap-heap, and I'm thirty-nine
Just one of the hundreds, shot down in my prime
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years
Now they've paid us back
By making us yesterday's men
Sure as hell By making us yesterday's men
Farewell my companions, my friends and my workmates
Farewell to the paydays, the pints and the craic
Oh, We gave them our best years
Now they've paid us back
By making us yesterday's men
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the land snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, oh, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
And he's singing a song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married , we'll say, "No, man"
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire to face unafraid
All the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows, ain't it thrilling
Though your noes gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
The tears, have all been shed now, we’ve said our last goodbye.
His souls’ been blessed, he’s laid to rest, and it’s now I feel alone.
He was more than just my father, my teacher, my best friend.
And he'll still be heard, in the tunes we've shared, when I play them on my own.
I never will forget him, for he made me what I am, though he may be gone, memories linger on,
And I miss him, the old man.
As a boy, he’d take me walking, by mountain, field and stream.
And he’d show me things, not known to kids, and secret, between him and me.
Like the colors, on the pheasant, as he rises, in the dawn.
Or how to fish, or make a wish, beside a faerie (fairy) tree.
I never will forget him, for he made me what I am, though he may be gone, memories linger on,
And I miss him, the old man.
I thought he’d live forever, he seemed so big and strong.
But the minutes fly, and the years roll by, for a father and a son.
And suddenly, when it happened, there was so much left unsaid.
No second chance, to tell him,
Thanks.
For everything he’d done.
Oh, I never will forget him, for he made me what I am, though he may be gone, memories linger on,
God I miss him,
[Paul:]
Woman
Such a delicate creature
Every feature needs to be loved from the start
Be tender and she'll surrender
Offend her, and she will harden her heart
[Ryan:]
Delicate creature is something she ain't
Better take it from me that's a woman
That isn't an angel that isn't a saint
Better take it from me that's a woman
She knows how to please and she knows how to play
Take it from me that's a woman
Forget to honor, love and obey
She'll take you and break you and throw you away
That's a woman, that's a woman
She knows every rule and she knows every trick
Take it from me that's a woman
How to kill with a word and cut to the quick
Take it from me that's a woman
How to look through you as if you're not there
Take it from me that's a woman
How to say no with a flick of her hair
She'll turn you and burn you and not even care
That's a woman that's a woman
[Paul:]
Faithful and true, that's a woman
Trusting in you, that's a woman
Gentle and constantly caring
Strong as the love she is sharing
When you look in the eyes of a woman
[Ryan:]
Look in her eyes you'll see nothing but lies, she's a woman
[Paul:]
And through the disguise of a woman
[Ryan:]
Every word is the same, she's just playing a game, she's a woman
[Paul:]
You'll see it all there, there's so much in the air
[Both:]
Nothing else can compare, that's a woman
[Paul:]
Woman, so soft and beguiling
See her smiling and feel your heart all aglow
Enfold her, lay her head on your shoulder
And hold her till you just can't let her go
[Ryan:]
Treat her as if you just don't give a damn
That's how to handle a woman
Be more of a stallion, less of a lamb
That's how to handle a woman
Keep her hanging around til she's ready to burst
That's how to handle a woman
Don't try to be bad, be the worst
Do unto others but just do it first
To a woman, to a woman
Be wise, be wary and be on your guard
That's how to handle a woman
If you feel like your falling you'd better be hard
Cause that's how to handle a woman
Don't let her get closer and don't let her in
That's how to handle a woman
Cause if you allow her get under your skin
My friend that's the end cause you ain't gonna win with a woman, with a woman
Look at her body and look at her move, now that's what I call a woman
I'm thinking now I've got something to prove cause that's what I call a woman
All my moves are stolen here, I can't get through to this woman
The pipes the pipes are calling here, I think I could be falling here for this woman
What a woman!!
[Paul:]
Faithful and true that's a woman
[Ryan:]
She couldn't be true, she's just playing with you, what a woman
[Paul:]
Trusting in you, that's a woman
[Paul:]
Trusting in who, you just haven't a clue, what a woman
[Paul:]
Gentle and constantly caring
[Ryan:]
Just let her be, this one's for me, what a woman
[Paul:]
Strong as the love she is sharing
[Both:]
When you look in the eyes of a woman
And through the disguise of a woman
You'll see it all there
There's so much in the air
Nothing else can compare,
That's a woman
[Ryan:]
Who'd ever thought I'd ever get caught
[Both:]
Look out! There's danger all about,
Can't you feel it in the air,
Look out! There's danger all about,
You had better beware.
Ooh, ooh. Under darkening skies,
Ohh, ooh. There's a full moon on the rise.
Look out! There's a Highwayman about,
No traveler is safe on the road.
Look out! And never be in doubt,
This night is about to explode.
Ooh, ooh. From the shadows he's suddenly there,
Ooh, ooh. Then you will hear him declare.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!
Look out! A coach has been surprised
Crossing Branagan's Moor.
No doubt, the gold that's been excised
Will be given to the poor!
Ooh, ooh. For the poor are being squeezed everyday,
My fine friend's, give it up, now it's your turn to pay.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Hahahaha!
Look out! The gentry and the rich,
For I have taken an oath.
Look out! No matter which is which,
I will steal from you both!
Ooh, ooh. Who will stand up for the weak.
Ooh,ooh. Yes, mine is the voice that will speak.
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
Take your wife!
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
Stand and Deliver!
I'll take your money or your life.
Stand and Deliver!
And tonight, I just might
She may be the face I can't forget
A trace of pleasure or regret
Maybe my treasure or the price I have to pay
She may be the song the summer sings
May be the chill the autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She may be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
A smile reflected in the stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
She, who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them, when they cry
She may be the love that cannot hope to last
That comes to me from shadows in the past
And I’ll remember 'till the day I die
She maybe the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I care for through the rough and ready years
Me, I'll take the laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
One sang high and the other sang low
And the Lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
T’was a cry all around the door
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
It was late that night when the lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
The servant girl replied to her lord
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Oh then saddle for me my milk white steed
- my big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride and I’ll seek me bride
She’s away wi’ the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Then he rode east and he rode west
He rode north and south also
But when he rode to the wide open fields
Oh, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June
Oh, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
Till all the seas gang dry, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till all the seas gang dry.
'Til all the seas gang dry my, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I will love thee still, my dear
While the sands of life shall run
But faretheewell, my only love
Oh, faretheewell a while
And I will come again, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile, my love
Tho' 't were ten thousand mile
And I will come again, my love
When I was a younger man
When I was a silly boy
I didn't need a thing,
I was strong as anything,
I viewed solitude as a joy
But since I met you I'm distraught
You wandered in and now I'm caught
I never thought I would see
Someone so truly good
Some one who's so everything I'm not
I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home
But what if, what if, what if what
If it's not perfect then it's not
But every care I'll take
Nothing I won't forsake
To dwell beside what you've got
Every time I think about you
I think I can't live with you
I'll tell you something
I am nothing without you
I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Without you in our home
I want to spend my life with you
Don't want to live all alone
I can't conceive of the years left in me
Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
The people here are working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them diggin' for gold in the street
At least, when I asked them, that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
But for all that I've found there I might as well be
In the place where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea
There's beautiful girls here, oh never you mind
Beautiful shapes nature never designed
Lovely complexions of roses and cream
But let me remark with regard to the same
That if at those roses you venture to sip
Colors might fall come away on your lips
So I'll wait for the white rose that's waitin for me
In the place where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea
You remember young Davey McClaren of course
Well sure now he's round here with the rest of the force
I saw him one day as I was crossin the strand
And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand
And as we stood talkin of days that are gone
The whole town of London stood there to look on
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mournes sweep down to the sea
But for all his great powers he's wishful like me
Damian:
Look at me
I'm cool and I'm charming
Debonair and disarming
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
Don't need no fandangos
I got all of the angles
Just look at me
Damian:
Look at me
Keith:
Look at you
Damian:
I ain't no beginner
a natural winner
That's me to a T
Damian:
Take a look at me
Keith:
Take a look at you
Damian:
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me
Keith:
You know nothin' at all about ladies
Let me give you a piece of advice
You're headin' for nothin' but trouble
You'll be paying a hell of a price
'Cos you think you're a bit of a killer
That the ladies will fall at your feet "Ha"
They could eat you for supper
And spit you right out on the street
Damian:
Look at me
Keith
Look at you
Damian:
Your resistance will crumble
Get ready to rumble 1, 2, 3!
Damian:
Take a look at me
Keith:
Look at you
Damian:
I'm as fit as a fiddle
So let's hide it a little
Just you and me
Keith:
It's a very bad time to be cocky
When your out there on the pull
Hold your horse like a jockey
And don't rush in like a bull
You have to be patient with ladies
And tell them what they want to here
Keep a steady aim on your target
Don't shoot like a young pistoler
Keith:
Take a good look at yourself
For goodness sake
All the ladies are laughin'
Ask yourself why
Take a good look at yourself
And you will see
A natural loser
Take it from me
Damian:
Look at me
I ain't no beginner
A natural winner
That's me to a T
Take a look at me
I can sing acappella
I'm a hell of a fella
Just look at me
Damian & Keith repeat what they just sang at the same time
Keith:
A natural loser
Take it from me
Damian:
I'm a hell of a fella
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I bought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Oh, the fire is slowing dying
An,d my dear, we're still goodbyeing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
You're strutting through the town like you're slinging a gun
Just a small-town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are you looking for some trouble tonight?
Well, alright
You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down with a flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met your match tonight
Oh, that's right
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is crying Indian and I'm begging for more
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for
If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back
Cause I'm ready baby
Aim and fire
Baby, there's nowhere you're gonna run tonight
Oh, that's right
Well, you've had your way with love, but its the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on
If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
On the first day on January,
Eighteen ninety-two,
They opened Ellis Island and they let
The people through.
And the first to cross the treshold
Of that isle of hope and tears,
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
Who was all of fifteen years.
CHORUS:
Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain,
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind.
In a little bag she carried
All her past and history,
And her dreams for the future
In the land of liberty.
And courage is the passport
When your old world disappears
But there's no future in the past
When you're fifteen years
Chorus
When they closed down Ellis Island
In nineteen fourty-three,
Seventeen million people
Had come there for sanctuary.
And in Springtime when I came here
And I stepped onto it's piers,
I thought of how it must have been
When you're fifteen years.
Ireland
Ireland
Side by side
We stand like brothers
One for all and all together
We will stay united through darker days
And we'll be unbeatable forever
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Come the day and come the hour
Some will live in song and stories
We were born to follow our guiding star
And to meet our destiny with glory
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Hearts of steel and heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until we can fight no more
Till our final requiem is spoken
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call
When the snowman brings the snow
Well, he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
And if you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock your door
You know the sweet Santa Claus is on his way
Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
When we're skating in the park
If the storm clouds paint it dark
Then your rosy cheeks gonna light my merry way
Now the frosticals appeared
And they've frozen up my ear
So we'll lie by the fire
'Til the sleep simply melts them all away
Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
(Wish it could be Christmas, oh, I wish it could be Christmas)
Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play, woah, ooh
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
Chorus
Home, home, home from the sea
Angels of mercy, answer our plea
And carry us home, home, home from the[ sea
Carry us safely home from the sea.
On a cold winters night
With a storm at its height
The lifeboat answered the call.
They pitched and they tossed
Till we thought they were lost
As we watched from the harbor wall.
Though the night was pitch black,
There was no turning back,
For someone was waiting out there,
But each volunteer
Had to live with his fear
As they joined in a silent prayer.
[Repeat chorus]
As they battled their way
Past the mouth of the bay,
It was blowing like never before.
As they gallantly fought,
Every one of them thought
Of loved ones back on the shore.
Then a flicker of light
And they knew they were right.
There she was on the crest of a wave.
She's an old fishing boat
And she's barely afloat.
Please God, there are souls we can save.
CHORUS
And back in the town
In a street that runs down
To the sea and the harbor wall,
They'd gathered in pairs
At the foot of the stairs
To wait or the radio call.
And just before dawn
When all hope had gone
Came a hush and a faraway sound.
'Twas the coxswain he roared
All survivors on board
Thank God and we're homeward bound.
When the storm is raging
And thunder rolls
Deliver us from the ocean
Save our souls
(Gaelic chorus)

They say that I'm a bad boy
That I just can't help myself
That even though I know I should
I'm just too bad to be good
They call me a romancer,
A chancer, a gigolo
Who'll always have an alibi
Who'll kiss the girls and make them cry
[Chorus:]
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to break your heart in two
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'm sorry, but it's what I seem to do
[Bridge:]
They call me a heartbreaker
Nothing, but a heartbreaker
They say I'm the dark destroyer
That I just can't get enough
Of girls hanging on a string
That I'm only after one thing
That I'm filled with desire
A liar, a Romeo
Like a bee in a honey comb
Welcome to the pleasure dome!
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
[Viola Solo]
I just can't live without it
The thrill of a woman's touch
It's written in the stars above
I'm just addicted to love
But they all want to train me
To chain me and tie me down
Don't they know I was born to be
Footloose and fancy-free
(Chorus)
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who has seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way yeah
(background quite)
Look in to your heart baby
Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you
You know it's true
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
And I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, that some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Well you're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
(Gaelic verse)
Buachaill ón Éirne mé 's bhréagfainn cailín deas óg
Ní iarrfainn bó spré léi tá mé fhéin saibhir go leor
'S liom Corcaigh da mhéid é, dhá thaobh a' ghleanna 's Tír Eoghain
'S mura n-athraí mé béasaí 's mé n' t-oidhr' ar Chontae Mhaigh Eo
Come by the hills to the land where fancy is free
And stand where the peaks meet the sky and the loughs meet the sea
Where the rivers run clear and the bracken is gold in the sun
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where life is a song
And stand where the birds fill the air with their joy all day long
Where the trees sway in time and even the wind sings in tune
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
Come by the hills to the land where legend remains
The stories of old fill our hearts and may yet come again
Where the past has been lost and the future is still to be won
And the cares of tomorrow can wait till this day is done
I'll tell me ma when I get home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, they stole my comb
But that's all right till I get home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is courting one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high
Snow come tumbling from the sky
She's as nice as apple pie
She'll get her own lad by and by
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she gets home
Let them all come as they will
It's Albert Mooney she loves still
(Song: MUIRSHEEN DURKIN by Clancy Brothers)
In the days I went a courtin', I was never tired resortin'
To an alehouse or a playhouse or many a house beside,
I told me brother Seamus l'd go off and ge right famous
And before l'd return again l'd roam the world wide.
Chorus:
So goodbye Muirsheen Durkin, l'm sick and tired of workin,
No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be fooled.
For as sure as me name is Carney
I'll be off to Californiy, where instead of diggin'praties
I'll be diggin'lumps of gold.
(Song: COORTIN' IN THE KITCHEN by Clancy Brothers)
Come single belle or beau, come to now pay attention
Don't ever fall in love, it's the devil's own invention.
For once I fell in love with a maiden so bewitchin'
Miss Henrietta Bell, out in Captain Kelly's kitchen
Cho:
To my toora loora la, my toora loora laddy
Ri toora loora la, ri toora loora laddy.
Next Sunday bein' the day we were to have the flare-up
I dressed myself quite gay, an' I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife, he had gone a-fishin'
So we kicked up high life, down below-stairs in the kitchen.
(Song: The Holy Ground by Clancy Brothers)
Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu.
For we're going away to the Holy Ground and the girls we all love true.
We will sail the salt seas over and then return for shore,
And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
(Shouted) Fine girl you are!
Now when we're out a-sailing and you are far behind
Fine letters will I write to you with the secrets of my mind,
The secrets of my mind, my girl, you're the girl that I do adore,
And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
(Shouted) Fine girl you are!
(Sung) You're the girl that I do adore,
1915 on Christmas Day
On the western front the guns all died away
And laying in the mud on bags of sand
We heard a German sing from no man's land
He had tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note we knew
Soaring ore the the living dead and damned
The German sang of peace from no man's land
They left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath tin hats the smiles bloomed like wild flowers
With photos cigarettes and pots of wine
We built a soldier's truce on the front line
Their singer was a lad of 21
We begged another song before the dawn
And sitting in the mud and blood and feed
He sang again the song all longed to hear
Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
In 19 and 15 in no man's land
And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed us again
At night they charged we fought them hand to hand
And i killed the boy that sang in no man's land
Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore
All's calm, all's bright
All brothers hand in hand
And that young soldier sings
And the song of peace still rings
Though the captains and all the kings
Built no man's land
Two girls for every boy
I bought a pretty cool wagon and we call it a woody
(Surf City, here we come)
You know it's not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goody (Surf City, here we come)
Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go
And we're gonna to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're gonna to Surf City, gonna have some fun
Yeah, we're gonna to Surf City, 'cause it's two to one
You know we're gonna to Surf City, gonna have some fun, now
Two girls for every boy
Two girls for every
Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
If everybody had an ocean Across the U.S. of A.
Then everybody'd be surfin' Like Californ-i-a
You'd see 'em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo Surfin' U.S.A.
You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestles Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan And down Doheny way
Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S.A.
We'll all be gone for the summer We're on surf-ari to stay
I really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside)
I've got to go 'way (Baby, it's cold outside)
The evening has been (I've been hopin' that you'd drop in)
So very nice (I'll hold your hand, they're just like ice)
My mother will start to worry (Hey beautiful, what's your hurry)
And father will be pacing the floor (Listen to that fireplace roar)
So really, I'd better scurry (Sweetheart, what's your hurry)
Well, maybe just a half a drink more (Why don't you put some records on while I pour)
The neighbors might think (Baby, it's bad out there)
Say, what's in this drink (No cabs to be had out there)
I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)
To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)
I oughtta say no, no, no sir (You mind if I move a little closer)
At least I'm gonna say that I tried (And what's the sense in hurtin' my pride)
I really can't stay (Oh baby, don't hold out)
Oh, but it's cold outside
I simply must go (Baby, it's cold outside)
The answer is no (But baby, it's cold outside)
The welcome has been (So lucky that you dropped in)
So nice and warm (Look out the window at that storm)
My sister will be suspicious (Girl, your lips look delicious)
My brother will be there at the door (Like waves upon a tropical shore)
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious (Oh, Baby your so delicious)
Well maybe just a cigarette more (Never such a blizzard before)
I've got to get home (Baby, you'll freeze out there)
Say, lend me a coat (It's up to your knees out there)
You've really been grand (I thrill when you touch my hand)
Oh, but don't you see (How can you do this thing to me)
There's bound to be talk tomorrow (Making my lifelong sorrow)
At least there will be plenty implied (If you caught pneumonia I'd die)
I really can't stay (Get over that hold out)
Oh, but it's cold outside
Baby It's Cold Outside (together)
Come on, stay a little longer (boy)
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
Listen to the top where the little birds singingAnd the melodies and the high notes ringingAnd the hoot-owl cries over everythingAnd the blackbird disagrees
Singing in the night time, singing in the dayAnd the little duck quacks and he's on his wayAnd the otter hasn't got much to sayAnd the porcupine talks to himself
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
Dogs and the cats, they take up the middleWhere the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddlesThe donkey brays and the pony neighsAnd the old gray badger sighs
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottomWhere the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamusMoans and groans with a big to doAnd the old cow just goes moo
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
It's a simple song living song everywhereBy the ox and the fox and the grizzly bearThe dopey alligator and the hawk aboveThe sly old weasel and the turtledove
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
All God's creatures got a place in the choirSome sing low and some sing higherSome sing out loud on the telephone wireSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now
My young love said to me, ‘my mother won’t mind,
And my father won’t slight you for your lack of kine,’
She went away from me and this she did say,
‘It will not be long love, till our wedding day.’
She went away from me and she moved through the fair,
And slowly I watched her move here and move there,
She went her way homeward with one star awake,
As the swan in the evening moves over the lake.
The people were saying no two were e’er wed
But one has a sorrow that never was said,
And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear,
And that was the last that I saw of my dear.
I dreamt last night that my young love came in,
She came in so softly, her feet made no din;
She stepped up beside me, and this she did say,
‘It will not be long love, till our wedding day.’
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
This is our land; this is where we belong
Here between mountain and sea
Here is our future and here is our past
And here, we are destined to be
This is our land; this is where we belong
These are our fields and our farms
God gave us protection and gave us the right
And gave us the strength in our arms
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
This is our land; this is where we will stay
And fight for the right to be here
This is the land where our fathers have spilled
Their blood and their sweat and their tears
This is our land; this is where we belong
And where we intend to remain
We'll drive the invader back over the sea
Again and again and again and again and again and again
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
Over our mountains and valleys of green
Thank you, Lord, for a new day dawning
And shining Your light from above
All over this land that we love
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your sufferin'
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And, the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the star light
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
You're strutting through the town like you're slinging a gun
Just a small-town dude with a big city attitude
Honey are you looking for some trouble tonight?
Well, alright
You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild
Shoot 'em all down with a flash of your pearly smile
Honey, but you met your match tonight
Oh, that's right
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor
'Til my heart is crying Indian and I'm begging for more
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for
If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
You break the laws of love in the name of desire
Take ten steps back
Cause I'm ready baby
Aim and fire
Baby, there's nowhere you're gonna run tonight
Oh, that's right
Well, you've had your way with love, but its the end of the day
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away
So come on baby
Come on baby
Come on baby
Come on
If you can give it
I can take it
Cause if this heart is gonna break, its gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody is gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough
Come on and prove it
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
Just like Jesse James
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Your secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Your secret longing
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
I have loved, and I have lived
And I have had my wild romances
I've taken all that life can give
And taken my fair share of chances
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
I've known just how it is to win
And I have felt the pain of losing
Some paths I chose would end in tears
But they were all of my own choosing
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
But we get the strength to carry on
And build a life of our own making
We thank the Lord for each new day
And for every breath that we are taking
It's a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
I've known contentment
In a woman's arms
And felt the warmth of her devotion
And I've known heartache
And a dark despair
That was as deep as any ocean
And looking back on all the years
The loves, the sweetness, and the sorrow
Have made me what I am today
And I'd do it all again tomorrow
It's been a good life
Far from the high life
And I thank God that this was my life
We can't deny life
How it flies by, life
And I thank God that this was my life
It's a good life
Far from the high life
Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now;
Lord, I remember how
Couldn’t get enough of kissing;
do you know how much you’re missing
No, you don’t, but I do
The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can’t get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions are amusing; do you know how much you’re
losing
No, you don’t, but I do
But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I swore I’d never fall like this again
Fools like me never win;
I came to my knees again
I can’t close the door on likelihood
Things might be just as good;
always knew they would
Gotta let your love invite me;
girl, do you think it might be just as good
No, you don’t, but I do
Oh, but I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of
rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I do
I do
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
words fall through me
and always fool me
and I can't react
And games that never amount
to more than their meant
will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat
I'll point it home
we've still got time
Raise your hopefull voice
you have a choice
you made it back
falling slowly
eyes that know me
and I can't get back
Words that take me
and erase me
and I'm painted black
And you have suffered enough
and warred with yourself
it's time that you won
Take this sinking boat
I'll point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopefull voice
you have a choice
you've made it back
falling slowly
sing your melody
i'll sing it back
back
take it back
I'll pay the cost
How green are your valleys, how blue your great skies,
Your mountains stand tall in their glory:
Your rivers run free - the bright stars are your eyes,
Your beauty is endless before me.
[Chorus:]
Oh, you are the song ever singing in me,
And you are the heart ever true:
For, you are my land and you always will be,
The voice ever calling me... home to you.
When times we are far from your forests and streams,
When sailing from your shining waters:
We carry your hopes - your spirit, your dreams-
In the hearts of your sons and your daughters.
[Chorus]
When to your green valleys some day I return,
When you lay your mantle around me:
At rest I will be where the heart will not yearn,
With my land to ever...surround me.
[Chorus]
I dont know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, Ive been afraid, that I might drift away
Ive been tellin old stories, singing songs
That made me think, about where Ive come from
And thats the reason why I seem so far away today.
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia youre calling me, now Im goin home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonias been everything Ive ever had.
I have moved, and Ive kept on movin
Proved the points that I needed provin
I Lost the friends that I needed losin
Found others on the way
Ive kissed the girls and left them crying
Stolen dreams, yes theres no denying
Ive traveled hard sometimes with conscience flyin
Somewhere in the wind
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia youre calling me, now Im goin home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Caledonias been everything Ive ever had.
Let me tell you that I love you
And I think about you all the time
Caledonia youre calling me, now Im goin home
But if I should become a stranger
Know that it would make me more than sad
Like a bird without wings That longs to be flying
Like a motherless child Left lonely and crying
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
I get so lonely when you're away
I count ev'ry moment; I wait ev'ry day
Until you're home again, and hug me so tight
That's when I know ev'rything is alright
Like a bird without wings That longs to be flying
Like a motherless child Left lonely and crying
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
You're my gaurdian angel, my light, and my guide
You're hand on my shoulder and you by my side
You make ev'rything beautiful; you make me complete
Ev'rything in my world I lay at you feet
Like a church with no steeple where a bell never rings
In a town without people where no voice In the choir Ever sings; if a boat on the ocean would be lost with
No sail, then Without your devotion surely
All that I dreamed of would fail
Like a song without words Like a world without music
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
Without You watching over me
I wouldn't know what to do I'd be lost
She is young, and oh! So pretty,
With a twinkle in her eye
And just the kind of features
To make a young man sigh.
She is sweet and she is sunny,
Just like a morn in May,
She's just the kind of creature
Who could steal your heart away,
But,
CHORUS
She's not the one that's meant for me,
The one that Heaven-sent for me.
I know, although I haven't found her yet,
She's not the one, she's not the one
She's not the one that I'll care for,
The one I'll always be there for.
Don't ask the why or the wherefore,
I know,
She's not the one.
Can her smile light up the morning?
Can her laughter life the night?
Can she hold you when you're troubled
And make everything alright?
Can she fill each waking moment?
Who knows? Perhaps she can,
And yes, I realise
She'd be a prize for any man
But,

[Translation:]
I will go east and west
(To the places) from whence came
The moon and the sun
The moon and the sun will go
And the young man
With his reputation behind him
I will go wherever he came from-
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
On the water we have walked
Like the fearless child
What was fastened we've unlocked
Revealing wondrous wild
And in search of confirmation
We have jumped into the fire
And scrambled with our burning feet
Through uncontrolled desire
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
There's a well upon the hill
From our ancient past
Where an age is standing
Still holding strong and fast
And there's those that try to tame it
And to carve it into stone
Ah but words cannot extinguish it
However hard they're thrown
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
Are turning away, turning away from here
By Loch Etive they have worked
With their highland dreams
By Kilcrennan they have nourished
In the mountain streams.
And in searching for acceptance
They had given it away
Only the children of their children know
The price they had to pay
In darkness we do what we can
In daylight we're oblivion
Our hearts so raw and clear
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
Twas in the merry month of May, from me home I started,
Left the girls in 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 black thorn to banish ghosts and goblin;
Bought a pair of brogues, rattling o'er the bogs
And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight next morning blithe and early,
Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking;
Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking.
See the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubblin'
Asked me was I hired, wages I required,
I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be soon deprived a view of that fine city.
So then I took a stroll, all among the quality;
Me 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, they said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
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 hearty rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling;
When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead,
Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin.
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed,
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it.
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing;
Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing.
"Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly.
Some Galway boys were by, saw I was a hobble in,
With a load "Hurray!" joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin.
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah!
[Chorus:]
One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are fallin'
To the sound of the breezes that blow
An' I'm trying to please to the callin'
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
Stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
‘Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
One more moondance with you
In the moonlight, on a magic night
All the moonlight, on a magic night

Carolina Rua has a hand in my confusion.
She waits for me to choose which quarter to bend in.
To Susie-make-me-blue, or the redhead I'm attending.
Now Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do
Is go down the winding road where my Carolina goes:
Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to
My Carolina Rua, do you love me?
Tell me true, Carolina Rua
Standing on three queens, I thought the game was over.
Then, out from the blue, Carolina's at my shoulder.
With laughter in her eyes and a smile that touches all the guys
On down the winding road where my Carolina goes:
Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to
Carolina Rua, do you love me?
Tell me true, Carolina Rua
Carolina Rua has my heart and all I want to do
Is go down the winding road where my Carolina goes:
Down the crooked road where Carolina goes to,
My Carolina Rua, do you love me?
Tell me true, Tell me true.
