If anybody really does have it listed as Seven Yellow Travellers,then you can be fairly sure that they are idiots and that any information they provide is worthless. I had assumed that Conán was joking... I hope he was! |

I meet plenty of people who refer to themselves as "gypsies" and don't make a big fuss out of it. |

18 Feb 06 - 12:46 PM (#1672005) Subject: Lyr Add: SÍ DO MHAIMEO Í / SHE IS YOUR GRANNY From: Jim Dixon Why not have it here? Copied from The Celtic Lyrics Corner: SÍ DO MHAIMEO Í CHORUS: Sí do mhaimeo í, 'sí do mhaimeo í 'Sí do mhaimeo í, cailleach an airgid 'Sí do mhaimeo í, ó Bhaile Inis Mhóir í 'S chuirfeadh sí cóistí ar bhóithre Cois Fharraige Dá bhfeicfeá' an "steam" 'ghabhail siar Tóin Uí Loin' 'S na rothaí 'ghabhail timpeall siar ó na ceathrúnaí Chaithfeadh sí 'n stiúir naoi n-vair' ar a cúl 'S ní choinneodh sí siúl le cailleach an airgid. CHORUS 'Measann tú, 'bpósfa', 'measann tú 'bpósfa' 'Measann tú, 'bpósfa', cailleach an airgid? Tá's a'm nach 'bpósfa', tá's a'm nach 'bpósfa' Mar tá sé ró-óg 'gus d'ólfadh sé'n t-airgead. CHORUS TWICE 'S gairid go 'bpósfaidh, 's gairid go 'bpósfaidh 'S gairid go 'bpósfaidh, beirt ar an mbaile seo 'S gairid go 'bpósfaidh, 's gairid go 'bpósfaidh Séan Shéamais Mhóir agus Máire Ní Chathasaigh. CHORUS THREE TIMES SHE IS YOUR GRANNY CHORUS: She is your granny. She is your granny. She's your granny, the hag with the money. She is your granny from the town of Nishmore, And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige. If you'd see the steam going past Toin Ui Loin' And the wheels turning speedily out from her flanks, She'd scatter the stoor nine times to the rear, But she'd never keep pace with the hag with the money. CHORUS Do you reckon he'd marry? Do you reckon he'd marry? Do you reckon he'd marry the hag with the money? I know he'll not marry. I know he'll not marry, 'Cause he is too young and he'll squander the money. CHORUS TWICE We'll soon have a wedding. We'll soon have a wedding. We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village. We'll soon have a wedding. We'll soon have a wedding Between Sean Seamais Mhoir and Maire Ni Chathasaigh. CHORUS THREE TIMES [From Altan, "Harvest Storm," 1992.] |
