This is the kind of thread that keeps me coming back to Mudcat. I love the "coat of steel", it fits a lot better in the spirit of the song than "sword of steel."

Can someone post a good phonetic pronuciation of the Irish chorus posted by Guest JTT? My wife loves this song and I'd like to work up a version we can do together, but neither of us can read the Irish. We've got some good recordings of it but I'm kind of particular to at least pronounce things correctly, and it's hard to do so just from listening to an unfamiliar language.
