Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Songs you sang at the Getaway
Well, I realize I'm over a decade late, but I just found this and I need to correct the lyrics given here as my song "Grania." What MMario posted in 2003 is inaccurate. The second part of the first verse is:
Yet you dare to claim my land with your laws and your demands,
and you smite us like a galley smites the foam.
Know your place, my lady Bess;
who are you to dispossess Irish chieftains
from their fathers' fathers' home?
And in the second verse it should be "in Connaught I am queen," not "in Connaught Grania's queen."
Thank you.
