Thread Name: Lyric req: You're a Rascal, Tarry Flynn.
Subject: An Fhaillingín Mhuimhneach

a song with a tune resembling Tarry Flynn:

An Fhaillingín Mhuimhneach

Fallaing ar fhallaing 'sí an fhaillingín Mhuimhneach í.
Fallaing ar fhallaing 'sí an fhaillingín Mhuimhneach í.

curfá/chorus:
Fallaing ar fhallaing 'sí an fhaillingín Mhuimhneach í.
Fallaing chrua chasta 'snár chasa sí choich' orainn.

Fográim an fhallaing,
Is iomaí dath daor uirthi,
Tá dubh agus dearg
glas-uaine 'gus buí inti.

Dá mb'agam an fhallaing
ní thabharfainn don phíobair' í
Is túisce do chraithfinn
mar easair fé' chaoirigh í.

copied from RTÉ (Irish state broadcasting company) - "Radio Scoile 1975"
Fallaing = mantle, cloak
I didn't do the accents in html; I hope they survive long-term
