I know my love by his way of walking
And I know my love by his way of talking
And I know my love dressed in a suit of blue
And if my love leaves me what will I do...
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"
There is a dance house in Maradyke
And there my true love goes every night
He takes a strange girl upon his knee
Well now don't you think that that vexes me?
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"
If my love knew I can wash and wring
If my love knew I can sew and spin
I'd make a coat of the finest kind
But the want of money sure leaves me behind
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"
I know my love is an arrant rover
I know he'll wander the wild world over
In dear old Ireland he'll no longer tarry
An American girl he's sure to marry
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"
And still she cried, "I love him the best
And a troubled mind sure can know no rest"
And still she cried, "Bonny boys are few
And if my love leaves me what will I do"
What will I do...

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby There blows a lily fair The twilight gleam is in her eye The night is on her hair And like a love-sick lennan-shee She has my heart in thrall Nor life I owe nor liberty For love is lord of all.
And often when the beetle’s horn Hath lulled the eve to sleep I steal unto her shieling lorn And thru the dooring peep. There on the cricket’s singing stone, She spares the bogwood fire, And hums in sad sweet undertone The songs of heart’s desire
Nor life I owe nor liberty For love is lord of all. For love is lord of all.
Newfoundland, from Shaun Davey’s suite for uilleann pipes and orchestra, The Brendan Voyage, performed by Liam O’Flynn and the RTECO conducted by David Brophy.

Lyrics
Oh the Green and Red of Mayo I can see it still It’s soft and craggy boglands It’s tall majestic hills Where the ocean kisses Ireland And the waves carress it’s shore Oh the feelin’ it came over me To stay forever more Forever more
From it’s rollin’ coastal waters I can see Croagh Patrick’s peak Where one Sunday every Summer The pilgrims climb the reek Where Saint Patrick in it’s solitude Looked down across Clew Bay And With the ringin’ of his bell Called the faithful there to pray There to pray
Oh take me to Clare Island The home of Granuaile It’s waters harbour fishes From the herring to the whale And now I must depart it And reality is plain May the time not pass so slowly ‘Fore I set sail again Set sail again
Oh the Green and Red of Mayo I can see it still It’s soft and craggy boglands It’s tall majestic hills Where the ocean kisses Ireland And the waves carress it’s shore Oh the feelin’ it came over me To stay forever more Forever more
Stay forever more
Oh the Green and Red of Mayo Oh the Green and Red of Mayo Oh the Green and Red of Mayo Oh the Green and Red of Mayo
