Mick:

It's the spelling given in the lyrics that came with the CD. The line is "And you wandered down the boreen where the clurachan was seen and you whispered lovin' praises to you own dear sweet cailin". There's an accent mark over the "u" and another over the second "a".

We think the word "praises" should have been "phrases" and there is at least one other obvious error in in the lyrics so "clurachan" could be misspelled.

Any help would sure be appreciated.
