My favourite singer's version at a riotous Solas gig.

Karan Casey and Solas

from Brian Ó hEadhra and Fiona Mackenzie

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
Is d’iarr mé cairde a mhnaoi an leanna
Is dúirt sí liom ní bhfaighidh tú deor
Buail an bóthair is gabh abhaile

Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

Chuir mé féin mo lámh i m’ phóc
Is d’iarr mé briseadh scilling uirthí
Is é dúirt sí liom suigh síos ag bord
Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin

Éirigh i do shuí a fhear an tí
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin

Nach mise féin an fear gan chéill
A d’fhag mo chíos i mo scornaigh
D’fhág mé léan orm féin
Is d’fhág mé séan ar dhaoine eile

I went into a house last night
And I asked the trust of the landlady
She told me you won't get a drop
Hit the road and go home

It’s not the day, it’s not my love
It is not the day and it will not be until morning
It is not the day and won't be for a while
The moon is a high and bright

I put my hand in my pocket
I asked her to break a shilling
She told me sit down at a table
Drink here until morning

Sit down, man of the house
Put on your trousers and hat
You can play music with the fine lad
Who'll be drinking here until morning

Am I not the senseless man
That put my rent in my throat
I was the cause of my woe
And I left fortune to others
