Rhythm: song
Key: F
Meter: 3/4
Book: Joyce, P. W.; "Old Irish Folk Music and Songs"
History: From the singing of Joe Martin of Kilfinane Co. Limerick, 1852.
He sang an Irish song to it, of which this is the first verse:
Words:
Mo chreach a's mo dh\'iachairt gan ce\'o draoichte air na b\'oithribh,
A's go siubhalfhainn san o\'idhche le'm chroidhe geal na gl\'oire.
Mo ph\'ocaidhe bheith a l\'ionadh le geal ph\'isidhe cr\'oineach,
N\'a s\'asacht s\'ud dom'inntinn agus l\'uidhe s\'os le c\'obach.
Alas and alas, that there is not a fairy-fog on the roads,
And that I might walk in the night with thy fair sweetheart of glory.
If my pockets were to be filled with white crown pieces--
That would not content my mind, and to be married to a clown.
