Beg-Innish Lyrics by Arnold Bax

Five Irish Songs

0

Bring Kateen-beug and Maurya Jude
To dance in Beg-Innish
And when the lads (they're in Dunquin)
Have sold their crabs and fish
Wave fawny shawls and call them in
And call the little girls who spin
And seven weavers from Dunquin
To dance in Beg-Innish
I'll play you jigs, and Maurice Kean
Where nets are laid to dry
I've silken strings would draw a dance
From girls are lame or shy;
Four strings I've brought from Spain and France
To make your long men skip and prance
Till stars look out to see the dance
Where nets are laid to dry
We'll have no priest or peeler in
To dance in Beg-Innish;
But we'll have drink from M'riarty Jim
Rowed round while gannets fish
A keg with porter to the brim
That every lad may have his whim
Till we up sails with M'riarty Jim
And sail from Ben-Innish
