This song is sung by Danny Doyle on CD "Emigrant eyes". I remember only the first stanza (but the song is rather long). I would like very much to have the whole song. THANK YOU

The moon on Clancy's wings

Last night I tried to song and Irish love song But it wasn't really coming from the heart Till my memory took me back again To a small bar in New Orleans Where an old man played the violin And I sung and played guitar I as just a country boy The old man's name was Clancy Clancy ______ _______ he maked me sing and dance I was young and he had hairs of silver We ____ ____ ____ ___ of their shoes(?) _____ ______ ______ ______ _____ CHORUS: When Clancy plays the violin he set my heart to music The words fell over(?) like tears I'll have(?) whispers in the strings At night when the bars are closing And the drunks begin to sing It's not the Milky Way they see It's the moon on Clancy's wings
