about

We got this from the singing of 'The Voice Of Cork', Jimmy Crowley. It is the Muskerry take of the song, collected by Jimmy, versions of which are found throughout the country of Ireland. The theme is quite like 'The Wild Rover'. The landlady won't serve the narrator after hours until she sees the money, then it's a big welcome but there is no getting rid of him. Like The Wild Rover, the tale is related to the story of The Prodigal Son in The New Testament.

lyrics

Tá na caoirigh ag ithe an gheamhair
Tá na gamhna ag ól an bhainne
Prátaí síos gan díolachán
's duine gan mheabhair na raghfá abhaile

curfá:
Nil 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Nil 'na lá, tá ar maidin
NIl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Bean a rá, is i ar fhaga

Is deas an bhean i Siobhán óg
Gúna nua uirthí aníos ón siopa
Is breathnaím ar mo ghiní óir
'S i a' rince ar an mbord leis an phoc ar buile

Don't send me out into the dark
The night is cold and I'll be perished
But come to bed with me awhile
And we'll be warm beneath the blankets

Buailim suas, buailim síos
Buailim cleamhan ar bhean a leanna
Cuirim giní óir ar an mbord
Is bím ag ál anseo go maidin

Tá mo bhróga I dtigh an óil
Tá mo stocaí I dtigh á leanna
Tá na coiligh go léir ag glaoch
Is b'éigean domsa dhul abhaile
