Céad Mile Fáilte to The Irish Rambling House


You're welcome friends and neighbours, come in and stay a while

The tilly lamp is lighting and the kettle is on the boil

Can you hear below the haggard the flooded river roar

Don't mind the wind and rain outside draw in and shut the door

Pull up the sugan chairs around the blazing open fire

`Tis burning well - the turf we sleaned last summer up in Lyre

And by it's side we'll sit and let the conversation flow

About the happenings of the day and the times we used to know

Then sing your songs and play your tunes beside the fireside glow

And take us back to how it was in the Ireland of long `go.
