"Kerry Dancers" lyrics

"Kerry Dancers"

Oh the songs of the Kerry dancers
Oh the thrill 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 the 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 songs of the Kerry dancers
Oh the thrill of the piper's tune
Oh for one of those hours of gladness
Gone, alas, like our youth, too soon
