Don't know about lyrics, but there's an abc at this place
Joe-does this beat your record?

Just to explain, I've never known this tune to have words. Have you heard someone sing a song called "The Drunken Piper?" Do you remember any of it?

(Joe, I don't think you have to worry about the record - it only counts if you provide an answer.)

I don't remember any one ever singing "The drunken Piper" but I DO seem to recall someone singing a song TO the tune. Just wish the Almost-hiemer's would let up enough for me to remember what it was....

You're probably thinking of Natalie MacMaster & Cookie Rankin's duet "The Drunken Piper" which is a tune set containing the tunes "The Drunken Piper," "The Primrose Lasses" and "Father John Angus Rankin" which Natalie plays on her fiddle and THE SCOTS GAELIC SONG "Far Am Bi Mi Fhin" which Cookie sings. You can get the lyrics to "Far Am Bi Mi Fhin" at: www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/6338/far_am.html

Just what I was going to say, but I figured George would beat us all to the answer. (That's his website)

For a recording, check out Natalie's No Boundaries CD, Warner Canada 15697, 1996. Also available in the US on Rounder and on various other labels in the rest of the world.

Thanks Dale and Mbo. I would have, except I was at the Fiddles of the World Festival all day.

I am not sure if I've ever come across an English song of that title. I will ask of some pipers to see if they know anything of one.

I've heard a drunken piper. That, however, was outside my flat in Edinburgh's Cowgate, 4.am in the morning, playing "Flowers of Scotland" (and just barely out of reach of my bucket of water)
