201 Irish Song Lyrics

Sure, a little bit o' Heaven fell from out of the sky one day
And nestled on the ocean in a spot so far away
And the angels found it, sure it looked so sweet and fair
They said suppose we leave it, for it looks so peaceful there!
So they sprinkled it with star dust, just to make the shamrocks grow
'Tis the only place you'll find them
No matter where you go
Then they dotted it with silver
To make its lakes so grand
And when they had it finished
Sure they called it Ireland!

Ireland has always been the home of the dreamer, the poet and the story teller. An ancient land long soaked in sorrow but even in the hardest times the Irish people have always had a way of using their eloquence and grasp of language to create a shield between them and the outside world. This book of Irish Song Lyrics provides over 200 songs from the Old Country.
The songs retain some of the magic, much of the power and the ability to raise the odd smile, they had when they were first sung many years ago. The majority of these songs are purely Irish in origin, a few are not specifically Irish but are commonly used and capture the spirit of this land.
I hope you enjoy reading them and they pass onto you the tragedy, magic and humour of Ireland and the Irish.
