Hi all! I'm looking for lyrics to An tAmhrán Bréagach (The Song of Lies). There's a video on YouTube of Eilís Ní Chongaile singing a version of it on Abair Amhrán (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lEXRcQ8EJg) , and I know that Lasairfhíona Ní Chonaola has recorded a version of it. Any takers?

Hi Audrey,

There's a text of it in Donal O'Sullivan's book, Songs of the Irish. I haven't time to access and scan it at the moment. But if you have difficulty tracking it down do get back to us.

There's a recording of Seosamh O hEanaigh singing a version, with a transcription, HERE
