Show Lyrics and Chords

The Hooley
(celtic rock) - 4:27

Come listen to my song, please come and sing along
We'll dance upon the floor, and laugh for evermore
This is my marriage day, so come and sing and play
And you can wish me health and make your feelings felt.

Chorus :

Come on right in and get yourself a glass
And when you've drunk, you can try and find a lass
There's lots of grub and plenty there to drink
Go on sit down and watch the people ag rince.

They're dancing all night long, this hooley's going strong
They've got the walls a shaking, I'm drunk if I'm mistaken
It's early in the morning, but no one is a snoring
Cos no one is in bed, the noise would waken up the dead.

Chorus :

Come on right in and get yourself a glass
And when you've drunk, you can try and find a lass
There's lots of grub and plenty there to drink
Go on sit down and watch the people ag rince.

Song Information

The words to this song are merely an accompaniment to the music and only a bit of a laugh. Ha Ha. Tap your feet to the music - but don't injure yourself - I'm not covered by insurance - check with your doctor first ! This could be part of your weight loss training.

The term 'ag rince' is the Irish (gaeilge) term for 'dancing' .

The 2 parts of this piece were originally totally different and separate songs. The first part consisted of just 2 verses and choruses of singing. The 2nd musical piece is called 'A jig in Rathfarnham'. I grew up in Rathfarnham, Dublin and named this piece after my home village.

I don't think that this 2nd piece of music IS, in actual fact, a jig but that is what I've called it and so be it. Sue me!

The interesting thing about these 2 melodies is that usually when a song changes key is goes to a 5th, but in this case it goes from E major to E minor and back again.

The only way to hear this song is . . LIVE - that gets the blood circulating.
