After the singing of Joe Heaney on the double album 'The Road from Connemara'

lyrics

It being on the third of June as I sat weaving all by my loom
It being on the third of June as I sat weaving all by my loom
A birdie sang on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch

Ladlee fol the day…

What more diversion can a man desire than to sit him down beside the fire What more diversion can a man desire than to sit him down beside the fire
And on the table a jug of punch
And on his knee one tidy wench

Ladlee fol the day…

What more diversion can a man endure than to sit him down behind the door
What more diversion can a man endure than to sit him down behind the door
And on the table no jug of punch
And on his knee no tidy wench

Ladlee fol the day…

When I am dying and my drinking’s o’er I will take one drink and then take no more
When I am dying and my drinking’s o’er I will take one drink and then take no more
In case I wouldn’t get another chance
I will take one now and then pass o’er

Ladlee fol the day…

When I am dead and in my mould at my head and feet lay a flowing bowl
When I am dead and in my mould at my head and feet lay a flowing bowl
And everyone who passes by
They can take one drink and remember I…

Ladlee fol the day

As The Guardian describes it “You’re put in the place of a bird navigating wide open landscapes, absorbing light, space and air. This is music that takes you on its wing, and gives you fresh visions” ... more
