1.       Green leaves of summer -

https://youtu.be/I6ryBrtQtgM?t=57

Wo... wo...

A time to be reaping

A time to be sowing

The green leaves of summer

Are calling me home "

Twas so good to be young then

In the season of plenty

When the catfish were jumping

As high as the sky

A time just for planting

A time just for ploughing

A time to be courting

A girl of your own "

Twas so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

And to stand by your wife

At the moment of birth, wo...

A time to be reaping

A time to be sowing

A time just for living

A place for to die "

Twas so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home "

Twas so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home

Galway bay

https://youtu.be/xGf9HljxRAU

If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,

Then maybe at the closing of your day;

You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh,

And see the sun go down on Galway Bay,

Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,

The women in the meadows making hay;

And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,

And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play,

For the breezes blowing over the seas from Ireland,

Are perfumed by the heather as they blow;

And the women in the uplands digging praties,

Speak a language that the strangers do not know,

For the strangers came and tried to teach their way,]

They scorned us just for being what we are;

But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams,

Or light a penny candle from a star.

And if there is going to be a life hereafter,

And somehow I am sure there's going to be;

I will ask my God to let me make my heaven,

In that dear land across the Irish Sea.

Oh Danny boy

https://youtu.be/8ezdXDLz2KM?list=PLpARHivMaD08vQaUbENFZ2MdL_MIIJwP0

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!…

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

She was a fish-monger, but sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

She died of a fever, and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying c***les and mussels, alive, alive-O!

When Irish eyes are smiling

https://youtu.be/V74E31Tb2Oo

There's a tear in your eye

And I'm wondering why

For it never should be there at all

With such pow'r in your smile

Sure a stone you'd beguile

So there's never a teardrop should fall

When your sweet lilting laughter's

Like some fairy song

And your eyes twinkle bright as can be

You should laugh all the while

And all other times smile

And now, smile a smile for me

When Irish eyes are smiling

Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring

In the lilt of Irish laughter

You can hear the angels sing

When Irish hearts are happy

All the world seems bright and gay

And when Irish eyes are smiling

Sure, they steal your heart away

For your smile is a part

Of the love in your heart

And it makes even sunshine more bright

Like the linnet's sweet song

Crooning all the day long

Comes your…
