Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: dan your man or catch me if y
This is what I have transcribed for this song from the CD "Irish Songs You Know And Love", this song is sung by Hugo Duncan on this CD
The red parts are wrong or I am not sure about it
Now I'm a-parting
From toll a wild thing
I've got money
And I've a wee bit of land
And I'm looking for a honey
With a bit of money
Ah catch me if you can,
My name is Dan
Sure I'm your man.
I like the caley
And the stacks of barley
I like the waltzes
And my jigs and the reels
I like the swinging
When big Tom is singing

And I'm off to Lisdoonvarna
At the end of the year
I'm off for a bit of craic
The odd woman and the bear
And I'm off this shifting
For a lad of fifty

I've got a brother
He's in the Garda
I got an uncle
He's way up there in the Dail
He's quite a charmer
He's a mighty big farmer

Now to conclude
And to finish my story
If there's a young one
Out there looking for a man
Get the bus from Barna
Down to Lisdoonvarna
