I write from Verona, Italy.As I'm not good at English enough to recognize the text by ear, I'm looking for the texts of some ballads played by Dubliners, which I've not been able to find in the database. The titles are: Seven drunken nights/Finnegan's wake/the auld triangle/weila weila waile/home boys home/the holy land. Thanks in advance! |
