[00:17.88]Tell me the legends of long ago
[00:21.90]When the kings and queens would dance
[00:24.30]In the realm of the Black Rose
[00:27.00]Play me the melodies I want to know
[00:30.93]So I can teach my children, oh
[00:52.92]Pray, tell me the story of young Cuchulainn
[00:55.71]How his eyes were dark his expression sullen
[01:01.92]And how he'd fight and always won
[01:06.36]And how they cried when he was fallen
[01:10.89]Oh, tell me the story of the queen of this land
[01:15.24]And how her sons died at her own hand
[01:21.36]And how fools obey commands
[01:24.06]Oh, tell me the legends of long ago
[01:31.53]Where the mountains of Mourne
[01:33.66]Come down to the sea
[01:42.39]Will she no come back to me?
[01:43.26]Will she no come back to me?
[02:01.11]Oh Shenandoah, I hear you calling
[02:03.03]Far away you rolling river
[05:05.01]Roll down the mountain side
[05:05.52]On down, on down go Lassie go
[05:06.24]Oh, tell me the legends of long ago
[05:08.76]When the kings and queens would dance
[05:12.09]In the realms of the Black Rose
[05:16.92]And play me the melodies so that I might know
[05:24.66]And I can tell my children, oh
[05:38.61]My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love
[05:47.19]It was a joy, that Joyce brought to me
[05:52.08]While William Butler waits
[05:56.46]And Oscar, he's going wild
[06:00.93]Ah sure, Brendan where have you been?
[06:06.81]Looking for a girl with green eyes
[06:13.65]My dark Rosaleen is my colleen
[06:14.70]That Georgie knows best
[06:23.13]But Van is the man
[06:23.73]Starvation once again
[06:32.85]Drinking whiskey in the jar, oh
[06:39.51]Synge's playboy of the western World
[06:43.89]As Shaw, Sean I was born and reared there
[06:49.29]Where the Mountains of Mourne
[06:50.76]Come down to the sea
[06:53.07]Is such a long, long way from Tipperary
