Subject: RE: LYRICS REQ: BELLS OF DUBLIN (CHIEFTAINS)
Here are my links written into the track list of that CD. I didn't try to find lyrics in other languages than English. Since I didn't check at home I might have left out one or two songs for thinking they were tunes and for the same reason I don't know which Wexford Carol it is (I can find out and I'll have the lyrics). Mostly the lyrics are only close and not exactly what is sung but with the exception of Deck the Halls (see below) I did understand virtually everything on that CD with these lyrics as basis.
