Thread Name: Lyr Req: Mo Ghile Mear & Changing Your Demeanour
Subject: Lyr Add: CHANGE IN YOUR DEMEANOR^^
I love that version of Mo Ghile Mear, regardless of whether it is faithful to the Jacobite song or not.
CHANGE IN YOUR DEMEANOR Words and music by Kevin Conneff
Here we are, we come to call, the pipes and flutes and fiddles and all. In case of death we even brought a keener. So if you're glum and feeling down, just be like us and act the clown and soon there'll be a change in your demeanor.
(scat sing) Rum tum dee doo-dle doe, hub-a-dee die dee doo-dle do, Rum tum dee doo-dle doe dee doo dum. Rum tum dee doo-dle doe, hub-a-dee die dee doo-dle do, Rum tum dee doo-dle doe dee doo dum.
I put me money on a horse today For with the race he'd run away Or so a friend who's in and knows he told me Twenty lengths ahead at most He proudly cantered past the post. But woe is me, he lost the blooming jockey
Now all the places I have seen From China to the Caribbean Are all across the goal compared to Ireland. From Bally Castle to Traline The Corrib to the Liffey There's nowhere else on earth quite like this Island
In Hollywood I long to be, Not on that place across the sea, But in County Wicklow, Ireland's lovely garden, Where no pretenders will you find But decent people roamin' and The fox and friendly sheep into the bargain.
For your ills don't take a pill But take a tender o'er the hills, And listen to the lark's lovely warning In the evening in the company With music in the key of E You'll be dancing Kerry sets until the morning.
