"The Flower Of Inverness" lyrics
"The Flower Of Inverness"
She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness
She's witty and she's frisky and as sweet as Highland whisky
Her lips are like red roses and as soft as morning dew
Her golden hair's still shining when the sun has gone declining
She's a lithesome and a bonnie lass with flashing eyes of blue
She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness
'Twas in the purple heather when first we came together
I met her there by chance and I have never been the same
I've rambled 'round this nation and there's none above her station
The bonnie Highland lassie fairly sets me heart a-flame
She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness
I will do my best endeavour just to be with her forever
For every hour without her seems eternity at best
Me heart is hers to own and it's only death alone
Could stop my heart from loving her, the Flower of Inverness
She's lovely and she's charming and her beauty is disarming
She takes me very breath away I'm smitten I profess
Every Mother's son will soon have their hearts undone
For boys it's my intent to wed the Flower of Inverness

Stan Rogers - "The Wreck Of The Athens Queen" We were drinking down to Reedy's house
When first we heard the blow
It seemed to come from Ripper Rock

From Portage to Spadina listen closely for the sound

Paddy And The Rats - "Freedom" Far on the highlands
A thousand graves can tell you
How blood and sorrow
Can be truly value
The ghost of our proud heroes

With the holy blood of Irish...
Ye Banished Privateers - "Annabel" I met a lad from Donegal
Heave away, haul away
I got pregnant by the fall
Got hauled away to Georgia
I got jailed for all my sins
Heave away, haul away
Had me branded on my skin
When hauled away to...
Flogging Molly - "Devil's Dance Floor" Her breath began to speak
As she stood right in front of me
The colour of her eyes
Were the colour of insanity
Crushed beneath her wave
Like a ship, I could not reach the shore
We're all just dancers...
