AN IRISH REJOICING
The following is part of a lyric in preparation. The tune has been recorded already,
:
Blessed are those who are born of this land
Happy are they who can hold fast its hand -
Who can pull up a chair
And bid goodbye to care
We won't ask what you're thinking
When we ask what you're drinking!
Lucky are those who share this old bond
Eager are they who come from beyond
For Its mountains and mystery
Proud settings for its history
We won't ask why you smile
Or why you stop here a while.
But we'll understand why you'll alway come back
To enjoy the warm welcome and the fun of the craic!

Thanks, Lisa. I confess owing the impetus to a recently acquired
set of songs sung by Liam Clancy. What a great performer!
