Wolfgang (Hell) Lyr Req: The Wren in the Furze (Chieftains) (33) RE: wren in the furze 14 Nov 97

Thanks so much, cleod. The fast singing was far beyond my abilities for listening. Meanwhile I have found in a discussion group a transcription of the third verse (but nothing else):

We'll play Kerry polkas; they're real hot stuff,
We'll play "The Mason's apron" and "A Pinch of Snuff".
John Morrone's jig and the Donegal reel,
Music made to put a spring in your heel.

Isn't "May sensation" a beautiful mondegreen for "Mason's apron"? I don't even dare thinking what I would have made especially out of verses 3 and 4. Thanks once more.

Wolfgang
