For those who don't have Irish, it's the story of the hen and the rooster who are deeply in love. It starts with " A cock and a hen went away together. Out through the mountains until they broke their hearts. They went to Sligo and afterwards to Cork, until the story went out through the whole country". It is a fun song of hijinks and escapes and ends with "Och, och said the hen as she went on to the roost. How sad miserable and worrying is the end of my story. The father of my family and my bed partner, stretched out in the pot with a flagstone on his mouth!" (It's much funnier in Irish, sorry!) JMB @Irish @bird @animal filename[ CEARCAGS JMB oct97 |
