Gabriel	Lyr Req: Lough Erne Shore (12)	RE: Lyr Req: Lough Erne Shore	26 Jun 17
The second line of the second verse it is give as "My heart it did leap with surprise". In the book it is "My heart it did lep with surprise" that is actually printed in the text. And "lep" is actually what Paddy sings in his recordings of the song. "Lep" means the same as "leap" and is in common usage in the North of Ireland. It is rather more than merely a matter of pronunciation Interestingly the versions recorded by Paddy are abbreviated to three verses by mixing the third and fourth verses printed above. He also sings slightly different wordings in the recordings.
