Thread Name: The reproductive capacity of bodhrans
Subject: RE: The reproductive capacity of bodhrans
Not quite on the topic of bodhran reproduction, but .....here's our contribution. Although Claire wasn't ever a "wild" beater, we thought it would make a good story and may incorporate it into our gigs. She did buy her new drum, a Brendan White that she loves, from Eoin O'Neill at Custy's after only 8 hours on the Isle.
I've been a wild beater for many's the year and I spent all my money on bodhrans and beer From Ireland returned with drum in great store Swore I never will be a wild beater no more.
And it's no nay never....no nay never no more, will I beat on the bodhran, no never no more
I went into Custy's, where I'd like to frequent I told Eoin O'Neill that my money was spent I asked for a bodhran, he answered me nay Your kind of custom, I can get every day
And it's no nay never....no nay never no more, will I beat on the bodhran, no never no more
I pulled from my pocket, 10 soveriegns bright and Mr O'Neills eyes lit up with delight He said I've got tippers and drums of the best Those words that I spoke were only in jest
And it's no nay never....no nay never no more, will I beat on the bodhran, no never no more
I'll go back to my band, confess what I've done, and ask them to pardon their prodigal daughter And when they harass me as oft times before I never will be a wild beater no more.
