Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realm of the Black Rose
Play me their melodies
I want to know so I can teach my children oh
Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulain
How his eyes were dark his expression Sullen
And how he'd fight and always won
And how they cried when he was fallen
Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land
And how her sons died at her own hand
And how fools obey commands
Oh tell me the legends of long ago
Where the mountains of Mourne come down to the sea
Will she no' come back to me will she no' come back to me
Oh Shenandoah
I hear you calling far away you rollin' river
Roll down the mountain side on down on down go lassie go
Oh tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance in the realms of the Black Rose
And play me their melodies so that I might know and I can tell my children oh
My Roisin Dubh is my one and only true love
It was a joy that Joyce brought to me
While William Butler waits
And Oscar he's goin' Wilde
Ah sure Brendan where have you Behan
Lookin' for a girl with green eyes
My dark Rosaleen is my colleen
That Georgie knows Best
But Van is the man
Starvation once again
Drinkin' whiskey in the jar oh synge's playboys of the western world
As Shaw Sean
I was born and reared there
Where the mountains of Mourne
Come down to the sea it's such a long
Long way from Tipperary oh Robert
