  "IRISH SONG LYRICS" 

Contact me at: flennon@indigo.ie

Some of these songs sing of the 'terrible beauty' Yeats wrote about. Others sing of love, homesickness, emigration, the music and the craic. All of them are sung in Irish homes, halls and pubs or wherever in this world Irish people and their friends gather. They reflect the spirit, traditions and history of the Irish people.

Enjoy them!
