Anthony, you're keeping me busy! It's been a pleasure though. I've heard more Irish country music in the last few days than I've ever heard before.

GIRL FROM WEXFORD TOWN
As sung by Mick Flavin

1. That town lies o'er the Slaney is always on my mind,
And girls like one I've come to love are very hard to find.
Such happiness she's brought to me like I have never known.
Farewell to good-life days are past. Those wild seeds I have sown.
Old flame Katie You-Know-Who has waltzed back into town.
She doesn't see things as I do and scorns the love I've found.
Her eyes they shine; her lips beg mine, but someone's changed my life.
There's a sweet little girl in Wexford town; she's gonna be my wife.

CHORUS: How I love my pretty little brown-eyes and she waits for me.
I met her down in Wexford town along the Irish sea.
Her jewel is a heart of gold she gave so lovingly.
Her tempting hips, her charming lips, won't change my mind for me.

2. My friends they say, "Now come on, Mick. Come out and have your fun.
You're the life of all the party. Your race is not near run.
And Katie sure would love to have you showing her around."
Well, Good-Time Kate, it's fare thee well. No, you won't bring our love down.
I'm heading where my heart lies; I'm going by the sea
To where that Someone's waiting, to where I want to be,
And on her finger I will place with love a diamond ring.
Then my lips will echo these words my heart will sing: CHORUS
