What Irish based CD could be called truly Irish without some sort of song about a girl with Sunday drinking routine? The Great Highland Bagpipes make their appearance on this song with a traditional Scottish tune (if you know the name of the tune, let me know :-)).
In Scartaglenn there lived a lass and every Sunday after mass
She would go and take a glass before going home to Bearna
We won’t go home along the road for fear that you might act the rogue
We won’t go home along the road, but we’ll go home to Bearna
We won’t go home across the fields the big thornines could stick in your heels
We won’t go home across the fields, but we’ll go home to Bearna
We won’t go home around the glen for fear your blood might rise again
We won’t go home around the glen, but we’ll go home to Bearna
We won’t go down the milk boreen the night is bright we might be seen
We won’t go down the milk boreen, but we’ll go home to Bearna
We won’t go home across the bog for fear we might meet Kearney’s dog
We won’t go home across the bog, but we’ll go home to Bearna
