lyrics

THE FIDDLER OF DOONEY

When I play on my fiddle in Dooney,

Folk dance like a wave of the sea;

My cousin is a priest in kilvarnet,

My brother in Mocharabuiee.

Here I am, and folk dance like a wave of the sea.

I passed my brother and cousin:

They read in their books of prayer;

I read in my book of songs

I bought at the Sligo fair.

Here I am, and folk dance like a wave of the sea.

Folk dance like a wave of the sea.

When we come at the end of time, the end of time...

To Peter sitting in state,

He will smile on the three old spirits,

But call me first through the gate;

For the good are always merry,

Save by an evil chance,

And the merry love the fiddle,

And the merry love to dance:

Here I am, and folk dance like a wave of the sea.

Folk dance like a wave of the sea.

When we come at the end of time, the end of time...

Folk there will spy me,

And they'll all come up to me,

With, "Here is the fiddler of Dooney!"

And dance like a wave of the sea.
