The Clancy Brothers - Isn’t It Grand Boys
My grandfather’s favorite song. Though probably inappropriate, we sang it at the funeral home every night before we left.
The Clancy Brothers - The Irish Rover
We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out,
and the ship lost its way in a storm (big storm!).
And the whole of the crew was reduced down to two,
just myself and the captain’s old dog.
The Clancy Brothers - William Bloat
The Clancy Brothers - Brennan on the Moor
And with this loaded blunderbuss
the truth I will unfold.
He made the mayor to tremble
and robbed him of his gold.
The Clancy Brothers - Red Haired Mary
Keep your hands of red haired Mary,
her and I will soon be wed.
We’ll skip the priest this very morning,
and tonight we’ll lie in Murphy’s shed.
The Wolfe Tones - Big Strong Man
Yeah, there are going to be a bunch of these. It’s just that kind of day. I’ll try to spread them out.
