    “Every Monday ,morning the spinners go to town”

    Share Share Post
    " Every Monday morning the spinners go to town
    With their long burned shins,
    And their hair hanging down.
    The thimble makes them yellow
    And the needle makes them thin and
    You never saw a spinner without a long burned shin. "

    Bhí fear ann fado is fado a bhí
    Do ceannuigh sé láighe, agus ba deas an laighe í
    Do bhain sé spreaibín, agus bí neadin faoí
    Bhí uibín ins an neadín is ba dheas an uibhín í
    Bí éinín ins an uibhin is ba dheas an t-éinín í
