Yep. Mudcat's Digital Tradition data base. Click me! for songs in Gaelic.

Also the first section in the Scarce Songs 1 file on my website are old Irish ones. www.erols.com/olsonw. Also click on 'Ulstersongs' at the bottom of the homepage.

Just wanted to point out that the link for Mudcat songs in Gaelic (great link BTW and thanks!) is for songs in Scots Gaelic, not Irish...

Plenty there for you Deidre!!

Hi road65hog...

Here's the lyrics you wanted..

Old Flames

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone
Like stars in the night lost in the sweet light of dawn

Old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Old flames can't hold a candle to you


best wishes, Yvonne
