Subject: Lyrics? - Rachami/d a Bhean Bheag
Just wanted to know if anyone's got the lyrics and song title of the bit Kevin Conneff sings in the last track of "An Irish Evening" (Rachami/d a Bhean Bheag is the title of the instrumental that leads to the solos, I think.) I've got the first two stanzas and they go like this:

As I walked out through Belfast City
In the dark hours late at night
Well, who should I see but a fair young maiden
Washing her toes (?) in the clear moonlight
(lilting)

First she washed them and then she squeezed them
And then she hung them out to dry
And then she folded up her arms,
Saying, "What a nice young girl am I!"

Sla/n! cleod
