about

The Clancy's grandmother kept one of these pubs and learned quite a few songs, one of which was "Portláirge", a local Gaelic song. All the place names mentioned are within twenty miles of her pub.

lyrics

Ó do bhiossa lá i Portláirge
Oh dhu vee-sah law Purth-law-rig-eh
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Bhi fion is punch ar chlár ann
Vee feen iss punch err klawr oun
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Bhi lán á ti de mhnaibh ann
Vee lawn ah tee dhe vnaw-iv oun
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Agus mise ag ól a sláinte
Og-gus mish egg ohl ah slawnteh
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um

Agus d'éaluigh bean ó Rath liom
Og-gus thale-ig ban oh Raw lum
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Agus triúr ó Thiobraid Árann
Og-gus throor oh Hibb-ar-idh Aw-ron
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Ni raibh a muintir sásta
Nee rev ah mween-thar saws-tha
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Ni rabhadar ach leath-shásta
Nee row-dhar ock lah-haws-tha
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um

Ó raghadsa ón Charraig amárach
Oh ride-sah oan Korr-igg am-awr-ock

Agus tabharfad cailin bréa liom
Og-gus thaur-hadh koll-een brah lum
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Gabhfaimid trid an Bhearnan
Go-meedh treedh on Vaar-nan
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um
Ó thuaidh go Thiobraid Árann
Oh how-ig guh Hibb-ar-idh Awr-on
Fol dow fol dee fol the dad eye um

about

The London Celtic Punks London, UK

For drunx, celtic-punx and vagabonds!
"There's always been a strong argument that folk music is the original rebel music. The music of the people and historically through that music the people challenged the land owners, challenged the state and wrote the stories that recounted these acts; Therefore it could be argued that folk was in fact the first real punk rock" ... more
