*** Song 8:
Séamus Ennis leads on "An Poc ar
Buile". !! I AM MISSING SOME WORDS, MÁ THUIGEANN TÚ.... SCRÍOBH CHUIG soothinghand@gmail.com SEE BELOW FOR LYRICS The song is in praise of a cute goat with the words written just some 20 years earlier by Dónal Ó Mulláin from
Cúil Aodha, to the air of a much older tune of the same name.
Seán Ó Riada had arranged it, just prior to this programme, for his newly formed group
Ceoltóirí Chualann.

Ar[D] mo ghabáil (dhul) dom siar[G] chun Droichead Uí[D] Mhórdha, /As I set out to
Moore's bridge
Píce [D] im dhóid is mé ag dul i meitheal /pike in hand going to a workgang
Cé [G] chasfail orm i gcumar ceoidh /Who should I meet
Ach [A] pocán crón is é ar [D] buile /but a tan puck goat & he mad
[D]Alliliú[G] puilliliu, allil[D]iú tá an poc ar buile. /the puck is mad
Do rith sé AN TUIGEANN TÚ?!!!!!!
!! soothinghand@gmail.com !!! chun mise a mhilleadh /to destroy me
Ach treascairt do bhfuair sé ins na turtóga /but he got messed up in the "turtóga"?!
Do chuas d'ainneoin ar dhroim an rothar... /??!!
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile /the puck is mad
Do ritheamar trasna trí ruillógach, /We ran through 3 ... ?!
Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge, /And the action moved around... ?!
S'ansan sea do cháith sé an léim ba mhó. /Then yes he did his biggest jump
Le fána mhór na Faille Bríce /The big slope of
Cliff of
Bricks?!
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile /the puck is mad
Bhí garda mór i mBaile an Róistigh /There was a big policeman in Rochestown
Is bhailigh fórsa chun sinn a chlipeadh /and collected a force us to apprehend
(Do) bhuail sé rop dá adhairc sa tóin air /He hit a charge of his horns in his bum
Is dá bhríste nua do dhein sé giobail /of his new britches making rags
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile /the puck is mad
I nDaingean Uí Chúis le haghaidh an tráthnóna /In
Dingle the evening
Bhí an sagart paróiste amach 'nár gcoinnibh /The
Parish Priest was out watching us
Sé (Is é) dúirt gurbh é an diabhal ba dhóigh leis /he said that it was the devil he thought
A ghaibh an treo ar phocán buile... /that goes the way of the mad goat
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile /the puck is mad
