(CATHY JORDAN) - This is a wee song we do from time to time. Daniel O'Donnell changed the lyrics to relate to a wee thing going on at the minute between him and Enya Clannad.

There's a place by the wide River Bann
And it goes by the name of Drumcree
The green grass is tramped into glar
And the tents, they all flap in the breeze
Where the orangemen made their last stand
On a hill, for all who can see
And there dwells the love of my heart
Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi

Like a chuckie that longs for the dawn
Of an Ireland united and free
I long for my own cailin ban
But she don't give a damn about me
If she'd only stop drinkin' thon wine
An' snortin' thon big lines of speed
Our bodies would naked entwine
Is ar Eirinn ni neosfainn ce hi
