Subject: Lyr Add: AN BAIRILLE / THE BARREL
They're on the sleeve notes that go with the CD. I can give you them here, but unfortunately I can't put in all the fadas.

An Bairille

Haon ti ri ti ro, haon ti ro tri reacaire,
Haon ti ri ti ro, is cuir ar a thoin a' bhairille.

O 's do chuirfinn dhà thoin, dhà thoin,
(tri thoin, ceithre thoin, cùig toin 7rl (that means - agus araile)
Chuifinn dhà thoin ar dhà bhairille,
Chuirfinn dhà thoin, dhà thoin,
Dhà ghloinne ar a mbord 's dhà chnagaire.

O 's a dhuine bi ciuin go foil,
Eist le glor an tseanfhocail,
Seachain na mnà 's an t-ol,
Is seachain go deo na bearta seo.

The Barrel

One tee ree tee row, one tee row three gossips,
One tee ree tee row, and empty the barrel to the bottom.

Oh I'll empty to the bottom twice
(Three times, four times, five times, etc)
I'll empty to the bottom two barrels,
I'll empty to the bottom, to the bottom
Two glasses on the table and two noggins.

Oh now be quiet for a while,
Listen to what the old saying says,
Avoid the women and drink
Always avoid such occasions.
