Subject: Lyr Add: THE BOYS OF BARR NA SRÁIDE From: Áine Date: 16 Feb 00 - 11:29 PM Dear Boston Bill, The name of the song is "The Boys of Barr na Sráide", which means 'the boys of (from) the top of the street'. Here's the version that Naomh Parsons sings on the CD 'Many Happy Returns' that she recorded with the group Arkady in 1995. THE BOYS OF BARR NA SRÁIDE
Oh, the town, it climbs the mountain and looks out upon the sea
With cudgels stout we roamed about to hunt the dreólín
And when the hills were bleedin' and the rifles were aflame
And here's a toast to them tonight, the lads who laughed with me,
And now they toil in foreign soil where they have gone their way
And when the wheel of life runs down and peace come over me |
