GUEST,essteess Lyr Req: Fleadh Ceol-boys (parody) (3) Lyr Req: Fleadh Ceol-boys (parody) 23 Feb 07


I've been looking for this I-can't-tell-you-how-long. Years ago, I heard Johnny Moynihan do a wonderful Irish traditional music take on the popular song, "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys." The chorus for the parody goes:

Mamas, don't let your babies turn into fleadh ceol-boys
Don't let 'em bash bodhrans and sleep in their suits
Leave 'em play boxes, concertinas and flutes
Mamas, don't let your babies turn into fleadh ceol-boys
For they're always unconscious
Or apt to throw punches
Even at someone they lo-ove

Might anyone out there possibly have the lyrics to the whole thing?
