Galway girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

Of a day-i-ay-i-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

Of a fine soft day-i-ay

 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?

Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then, I'd be taking a whirl

Around the Salthill prom with a Galway girl

 

We were halfway there when the rain came down

Of a day-i-ay-i-ay

She asked me up to her flat downtown

Of a fine soft day-i-ay

 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do?

Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue

I took her hand and I give her a twirl

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

 

When I woke up, I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do?

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

'Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world

Boys, I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl

COUNTRY ROADS

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads   I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road, I get a feeling That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads

JOE McDONNELL

 Oh, me name is Joe McDonnell, from Belfast town I came A city I will never see again For in the town of Belfast, I spent many happy days I love that town in oh, so many ways For it's there I spent my childhood, and found for me a wife I then set out to make for her a life But all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate I soon found myself inside a prison gate And you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun When I think of all the deeds that you had done You had plundered many nations, divided many lands You had terrorised their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand And you brought this reign of terror to my land Then one cold October's morning, trapped in a lions' den I found myself imprisoned once again I was committed to the H-Blocks for fourteen years or more On the blanket, the conditions, they were poor Then a hunger strike we did commence, for the dignity of man But it seemed to me that no-one gave a damn But now I am a saddened man, I've...
