• Botany Bay
• Irish Rover

All can be found on my new CD Going for Brogue: Irish Pub Songs and Sea Shanties with an Accent.

New Lyrics Posted - "Auld Lang Syne"

I added new lyrics for "Auld Lang Syne". The song is the New Years feature of the MarcSongs Podcast. It will be added to an upcoming CD.

New Lyrics Posted - "Botany Bay"

Here's some more sea faring song lyrics from "Captain Black Jack" Murphy's new CD, "Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse". This is an Irish song called "Botany Bay".

New Lyrics Added - "Haul Away Joe"

I added new lyrics and chords for "Haul Away Joe", a sea shanty from Jack Murphy's new CD, "Pogue Mahone Means Kiss My Arse".

New Lyrics Added - "The Humours of Whiskey"

My friend Jack Murphy released a new CD and with it comes new lyrics for the Irish Songs & Lyrics website. This week, we have "The Humours of Whiskey".

New Lyrics Posted - "Star of the County Down"

Seems for as long as I've been promoting the lyrics for "Star of the County Down", I haven't actually posted the lyrics. But I just remedied that situation. You can now read the lyrics and listen to the MP3 from my upcoming CD, A Tribute to Love.

New Podcast - Black Velvet Band

"Black Velvet Band" is an Irish classic. It has a great story about drinking, women, and getting sent off to Van Dieman's Land as a punshment for a falsely accused crime. Ain't that great? On Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers, I parodied the song. I called it "Black Kitty Paw". It too has a great story about a man whose dog dies, and a cat helps him to refind is love for dogs. It was a nice sweet twist. This is the first single from my new CD.

New Podcast - The Moonshiner

Added lyrics: "The Moonshiner" which is this week's addition to the Irish-Song-Lyrics.com podcast.

I first heard "The Moonshiner" from Bedlam Bards. They do a fun version. So fun in fact that I made sure to parody the song for my "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" CD. My parody was extra cool because it was based on another song, namely "The Cat Came Back" called "The Cat Came Back... The Cat's Perspective".

New Podcast - The Foggy Dew

Added lyrics: "The Foggy Dew" which is this week's addition to the Irish-Song-Lyrics.com podcast.

Back when I played on the South Mall of the University of Texas, a frequent listener enjoyed our music so much that he lent me a cassette of IRB (Irish Rebel Brigade) songs. He suggested we learn some songs. So I listened and learned quite a few songs from that album. And I still don't know who the artist was. But one of the gems I heard on it was "The Foggy Dew". It had a captivating story and I quickly fell in love with it.
