The Legends of Ireland

[Verse] The children of Lir with feathers so white( ** so white ** ) Cursed as swans through the day and the night Under full moon's glow they walked as men again ( ** men again ** ) Till faith broke their spell their torment to end [Chorus] Oh tales of old in the emerald land Legends weave through each grain of sand From swans to warriors wise and brave Ireland’s heroes hearts they gave ( ** Doooh aahhh! Diiii did-ally doooh! ooon and ooon and oon we go! Sailor's songs from long a go! ** ) [Verse 2] Cú Chulainn young with courage and might ( ** might ** ) A son of man in the dim morning light He slew the hound with a hurling sliotar ( ** hurling sliotar ** ) And took the name that echoed so far [Chorus] Oh tales of old in the emerald land Legends weave through each grain of sand From swans to warriors wise and brave Ireland’s heroes hearts they gave ( ** Doooh aahhh! Diiii did-ally doooh! ooon and ooon and oon we go! Sailor's songs from long a go! ** ) [Bridge] Fair Fionn mac Cumhail with wisdom so grand ( ** so grand ** ) A salmon’s gift in his strong hand He led them all with sword and truth ( ** truth ** ) Ireland’s light and its living proof [Chorus] Oh tales of old in the emerald land Legends weave through each grain of sand From swans to warriors wise and brave Ireland’s heroes hearts they gave ( ** Doooh aahhh! Diiii did-ally doooh! ooon and ooon and oon we go! Sailor's songs from long a go! ** )
