The Blarney Stone (Ceilidoscope. Being European. 2006)
'Twas on the road to Bandon One morning in July Sure I met a lovely colleen And she smiled as she passed by. She says - "I am a stranger And I'm lonely all alone, Would you kindly tell me Where I find that little Blarney Stone".
Chorus: There's a Blarney stone in Kerry There's a Blarney stone in Clare There's a Blarney stone in Wicklow And there's plenty in Kildare There's a Blarney stone in Sligo And another in Mayo (Tyron) Sure the Devil a town in Ireland But you'll find a Blarney stone.
Sure I know he comes from Galway I can tell it by his brogue Sure there never was a Galway man That was a normal rogue. And since you are a stranger Where the river Shannon flows And the only Blarney stone I know Is underneath me nose.
Chorus:
Sure her Irish smile was broadened And she winked a roguish eye Oh she set me heart a thumping Till I thought I'd surely die. So he rolled me in his arms And I never baed him o'er Sure he kissed the blooming roses And abandoned Blarney stone.
