I think you can find the Boys of the Loch's (Cahal McConnel's) version of "Erin Gra Mo Chroi" on a compilation from the Celtic Connection in Glasgow in 1995 or 1996.
I've got it at my apartment, but I'm home for Christmas now
.... By the setting of the sun, when my long days work was done
I went down to the seaside for a walk......."

found a couple of CDs but not sites yet with lyrics/tunes.

Click here

In the search by artist section, type in "Dervish" and check out the listing for the album "At The End of The Day". If you have RealAudio you can hear the clip of Ar Éirinn ní neosfainn cé hí.

I also found listings for it at this website: Click here

As far as the other, Erin Gra Mo Chroi, I found references to a CD called "At the Racket" and a recording by the Boys of the Lough called The Fair Hills of Ireland (apparently not on CD?)... still would be looking but I really should get back to work...

iain

A bit more info would help! Couple of words? Hint of a chorus? First one might be "Ar Erin ni nosfainn ce hi" (apologies to the Gaelgeori for the laziness!) AKA "For Irelan I'll not tell her name".

Can anyone please supply the tune andor lyrics for Ar Erin and Erin go Macree. My spelling could be a little dubious on these two.
