  1. Amhrán (continued)

    It was a Summer evening ¶ In the merry month of May

    (continued from previous page)
    When by chance I stood outside a cottage door.
    I just dropped in to light my pipe.
    As any lad might do,
    Going to or coming from the fair,
    When I spied a pretty colleen
    With two eyes of melting blue.
    Faith t'was really then my heart felt very queer.
    I loved to ramble down the old boreen
    When the hawthorn blossoms are in bloom
    And sit by the gate
    On the old mossy seat.
    And whishering to Kate Muldoon.

  2. Amhrán

    Its nice to get up in the morning

    Its nice to get up in the morning
    When the sun begins to shine,
    A four, or five, or six oclock,
    In the real old summer time
    But when the snow is snowing hard
    And smoking overhead.
    I'd like to get up in the morning
    But I'd rather stay in bed.
