Thompson,

Glad it sparked some memories.


keberoxu,

You're welcome. And thank you for all your efforts in getting the lyrics for most of the songs from Amhráin Ghrá. Yes, I searched and searched and searched for those lyrics. When I got that one verse, I hoped I'd be able to find the others but no. Though maybe you or someone else here has more sophisticated searching methods than I do and will be able to find those elusive verses. Or maybe someone who speaks Irish will simply listen to the song and tell us what the verses are. Oh, to be at the point of being that familiar with the Irish language.

This is something I find confusing - according to the Amhráin Ghrá liner notes, the source for the song is this (lyrics to songs included)

Amhráin leis an gCruit (CEF06)

You've probably already looked at this page, but I provide the link in case others would like to see it. Anyway, obviously Mo Mhuirnín Bhán isn't included on the album, so I don't know why it's listed as the source. Another mystery.
