Irish folk music.

Seeing that im half Irish and its Easter, I thought id start this thread.

Do you love a good sing song to Irish music, if so what's your favourite ?

I like Rising of the moon.

Yes and whiskey in the jar is one of my favs.

Lord of the dance.

" Molly Malone"

The rose of Allendale.

Love this one Black Velvet Band.

Irish Rover

Seven Drunken Nights



Plus the words for the two verses they can't sing! -

And as I went home on Saturday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw two hands upon her breasts where my old hands should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns them hands upon your breasts where my old hands should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely night gown that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But fingers in a night gown sure I never saw before

As I went home on Sunday night as drunk as drunk could be
I saw a thing in her thing where my old thing should be
Well, I called me wife and I said to her: Will you kindly tell to me
Who owns that thing in your thing where my old thing should be

Ah, you're drunk,
you're drunk you silly old fool,
still you can not see
That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me
Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But hair on a tin whistle sure I never saw before

Not Irish, but with Irish connections, my fav folk song of all time.

Foggy Dew

good list lads

For a sing along it has to be Dicey Reilly

I'm half irish as well but i'm not keen on any of the music or the irish probably due to my old man being irish.

No expert on Irish Folk music but I know I liked the Pogues.
