Betsy Bell And Mary GrayBetsy Bell and Mary Gray
They were bonnie lasses
They built them a bower on yon burn-side
They theeked it all over wi' rashes (theeked - thatched)
They theeked it all over wi' rashes green
They theeked it all over wi' heather
The plague cam' from the borough town
And slew them both together
Broken WingsA tall tree
Turn and face the west
Oh we're running with the wind
On high cliff top
We're waiting with the rest
For this journey to begin
-Chorus-
CarrigdhounThe heath was green on Carrigdhoun
Bright shone the sun o’er Ard-na-Lee
The dark green trees bent trembling down
To kiss the slumbering Own na Buidhe
That happy day – ’twas but last May
Now it’s like a dream to me
When Donal swore, aye o’er and o’er
We’d part no more, a stór mo chroí
Fast Grow There's no but care on every hand
In every hour that passes oh
That signifies the life of man
and twere not for the lassies oh
-Chorus-
Green grow the rushes oh
Green grow the rushes oh
Green Grow The Rushes OhRobert Burns
Green Grow The Rushes Oh
Chorus (after each verse):
Green grow the rushes O
Green grow the rushes O
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Were spent among the lassies O
The Galway RoverI've the face of a stranger with a smile of a rover
I'll take a glass at down Kinvara and a jug at Oughterard
Down the great donkey roads though the hills of Connemara
To my dark Spanish handsome love way down in Galway town
Chorus (after each verse):
Where Jimmy is me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
Trasna Na DtonntaCurfá:
Trasna na dtonnta, dul siar, dul siar,
Slán leis an uaigneas ‘is slán leis an gcian;
Geal é mo chroí, agus geal í an ghrian,
Geal a bheith ag filleadh go hÉirinn!
Chonaic mo dhóthain de Thíortha i gcéin,
Ór agus airgead, saibhreas an tsaoil,
