  1. Linguistic - Unpublished Irish Song

    The day being goof we left Roundown

    I
    The day being good, we left Roundwood
    With sunbeams glittering on each rock
    Played "Patrick's Day and away did sway.
    On a Merry trip to Glendalough
    Chorus
    Our drivers good came from Roundwood
    And we were all a jovial flock
    Our colleens neat, showed off most great
    On a Merry trip to Glendalough.
    II
    Our steeds went fast without a blast
    Our jaunting car from shake or shock
    Played "Maggie O" through Annamoe
    The charming "bell" of Glendalough
    Chorus
    III
    Near Lara mill our thirst did kill
    With ginger bear up to the Knock.
    The Bridge Hotel it is know well
    It stands two miles from Glendalough
    Chorus
