Since this is such an august body of knowledge, I wonder if you all could help me with a couple of sets of lyrics/chords that I have been looking for? Forgive spelling errors on the first one, but it seems it was called "Grainne Mhaol". The second is "The Jackets Green". It seems as though I heard them on a Wolfetones album, but I can't seem to lay my hands on them. All assistance is greatly appreciated.

I.e., Grace O'Malley. That's closer to correct Gaelic that the title usually given (but missing accents). There's a version in DT. For other songs to the tune and the tune itself see "Granuaile" in Scarce Songs on my website www.erols.com/olsonw
I think there's an old thread on it here, too, but I don't remember how it was spelled.

Hi Mick,

You can take it right down here.

Sé do bheatha a bhean ba léanmhar
Ba é ár gcreach tú bheith i ngéibheann
Do dhúiche bhreá i seilibh meirleach
's tú díolta leis na galla!

CURFÁ: Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile
Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile
'Nois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.

Tá Gráinne Mhaol ag teacht thar sáile;
Óglaigh armtha léi mar gharda
Gaeil iad féin is ní Frainc ná Spáinnigh;
Is cuirfidh siad ruaig ar Ghallaibh. CURFÁ

A bhuí le Rí na Bheart go bhfeiceann;
Muna mbíonn beo ina dheoidh ach seachtain,
Gráinne Mhaol is míle gaiscíoch;
Ag fógairt fáin ar Ghallaibh. CURFÁ

*

Hail, O bereaved woman!
It was our sorrow you being in fetters,
Your fine heritage in the possession of robbers
And you held by the foreigners!

CHORUS: Oh, welcome home,
Oh, welcome home,
Oh, welcome home,
Now at the coming of summer.

Grace O'Malley is coming over the sea,
Armed young men with her as guards,
Gaels themselves not French nor Spaniards
And they will put a hurt on Foreigners (Brits). CHORUS

Thanks to the King of Miracles that I see,
Even if my life ends in but a week,
Grace O'Malley and a thousand volunteers
Proclaiming the scattering of the Foreigners. CHORUS

Cheers
Largo
