Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
We’re the Joyce Country Ceili Band
Playing away and we’re doing grand
If we’re singing a song won’t you give us a hand
Cos we’re the Joyce Country Ceili Band
Friday night, off we go
Tune the fiddle, strain the bow
Take it handy for the first few sets
Sure there’s hardly anyone listening yet
Thomas and Mary out on the floor
Well they never lost it, that’s for sure
In his sparkling shoes and his daz-white shirt
She’s got a brand new perm and a pleated shirt
We do do’s and functions, weddings and wakes
Meats and salads, buns and cakes
Well if you need a few tunes just give us a call
For the house, the pub or the parish hall
There’s a princess on the floor all night
She can fairly throw them shapes all right
How’ya Madge, are you on your own
How’erya fixed a seat back home
