I've searched the net with no luck. I have a copy of the CD "Farewell and Remember Me" by the Boys of the Lough and An Spailpin Fanach is on there but I can't derive much. A print of the words would help considerably. Thanky, Rex |

Is spailpin aerach treitheach mise agus bigi ag solathar mna dhom
An chead la i nEirinn ar liostail mise, o bhi me sugach sasta
Mo chuig cead slan leat, a dhuthaigh m'athar, is go deo deo don eilean gramhar,
Ta Baile Atha Cliath doite, is togfar Gaillimh, beidh lasair againn ar thinte chamha,
Agus b'fhaide liomsa lla bheinn i dteach gan charaid na bliain mhor fhada is raithe, |
