03 Oct 99 - 09:17 PM (#120333) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cliffs of Moher From: Lesley N. I'd be interested too. Barry did a midi of it - it's at Traditional Irish Tunes in Midi Format (http://www.contemplator.com/tunebook/irshmidi.htm), but no lyrics. I couldn't find it in my resources. Barry might be around to say if he's seen lyrics for it and if so, where...

Subject: Lyr Add: THE CLIFFS OF MOHER How about this one? THE CLIFFS OF MOHER Lyrics & music by Dermot Kelly I'm sitting on the cliffs of Moher Looking out to sea The broad Atlantic swells below me A bridge love between you and me The puffins cry above the tide The seagulls glide through the air Calling you back from New York City Back home to the county of Clare CHORUS: Come back, come back sweet Annie Come back for I will be there We'll sing and we'll play In the old-fashioned way On the hillside of sweet County Clare I'll hold your hand, we'll walk through the Burren With limestone and flowers so rare The yellows and reds, the gold in their petals Will match your blue eyes and fair hair We'll visit Quinn Abbey and Fein Cill Sula Where holy ones once knelt in prayer But how can this be, if you stay away darling From your home in the county of Clare? CHORUS I'm looking across at the great Aran islands Inis Mean, Inis Mor, Inis Oirr They've nestled there neatly caressed by the ocean Surrounded by water so clear But you have the smoke and the dust of the city Where people pass by and don't care There's love and there's welcome as warm as the sunshine For you in the county of Clare See this thread. |

There is also a rather nice air called 'The Scandinavian Bird's Farewell to the Cliffs of Moher' as played by the elderly busker Dinny McMahon, who was a regular there thirty years ago. Have never come across a traditional song of that title. Jim Carroll |
