Does anyone have the lyrics for this "misfortune song"? The first verse goes something like this: "Kind friends oh will you listen I will sing to you a song and if you pay attention sure I won't attain you long I come from céili? the other day And I saved a fifty pounds And my friends all were expecting me that night in Eyrie? town." Thanks for help! cheers, the turnover soap pig |
