Kerry Dance Lyrics
Kerry Dance - Macs Irish Players
Oh the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh the ring of the piper's tune
Oh for one of those hours of gladness
Gone alas like our youth too soon
When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight
Oh to think of it
Oh to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears
Oh the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh the ring of the piper's tune
Oh for one of those hours of gladness
Gone alas like our youth too soon
Was there ever a sweeter Colleen
In the dance than Eily More
Or a prouder lad than Thady
As he boldly took the floor
Lads and lasses to your places
Up the middle and down again
Ah the merry hearted laughter
Ringing through the happy glen
Oh to think of it
Oh to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears
Oh the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh the ring of the piper's tune
Oh for one of those hours of gladness
Gone alas like our youth too soon
When the boys began to gather
In the glen of a summer's night
And the Kerry piper's tuning
Made us long with wild delight
Oh to think of it
Oh to dream of it
Fills my heart with tears
Oh the days of the Kerry dancing
Oh the ring of the piper's tune
Oh for one of those hours of gladness
Gone alas like our youth too soon
