Song Words And Chords In The Key Of C Major
[G7]When the[C] curtains of[G7] night are pinned[F] back by the[C] stars
And the[F] beautiful[G7] moon sweeps the sky
When the[C] dew drops of[E7] heaven are[F] kissing the[C] rose
It is then that my[F] thoughts to you [C]darling[G7] do fly[C] flies
[aM]Upon the[E7] wings of some[F] beautiful [C]dove
To[F] hasten the[C] message of[G] cheer
I'll[C] send you a[G7] kiss of a[Am]ffection and[C] say
I'll re[F]member you, [C/G]Love,[G7] in my[C] prayers
When the angels of heaven are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer to prayers that I offered to Him
I know there's one waiting for you
Go where you will on land or on sea
I'll share all your sorrows and cares
And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
I'll remember you, Love, in my prayers
May the angels be with you and guard you through life
And guide you up Heaven's bright stairs
And know that I love you wherever you roam
I'll remember you, Love, in my prayers.

Rare Old Songs Of Ireland By Leo McCafferey
There is a special quality to the folk songs of Ireland that is unmatched by the folk songs of any other country. You can have the word of any Irishman on that. And if further proof is needed, listen closely to this marvelously entertaining collection of ballads, love songs, jigs, and other dances and folk forms. The big mystery remains why many of them are "rarely heard," for there's hardly a line here that will not cause you to double up with laughter, bring a tear to your eye-sometimes affect you both ways. Listen to the wild hilarity of Slattery's Mounted Fut, which relates the story of a doughty free- lance brigade whose philosophy is summed up in the lines: I'm not as bold as lions
But I'm braver than a hen And he that fights and runs away Will live to fight again.
Then there's the better-known love ballad Rose of Arranmore which sings of the loveliness of "that grand colleen in her gown of green."
Birthday of St. Patrick tells of the uproar attendant upon the dispute as to whether the saint was born March 8 or March 9, on the midnight in between-"... if the child was too slow or the clock was too fast." Father Mulcahey wisely resolved the issue by pointing out that eight plus nine equal seventeen, and so March 17th is the agreed-upon St. Patrick's Day.
"And we all got blind drunk which completed our bliss and we keep up the practice from that day to this."
The great Irish folk tradition of the restless runaway is celebrated in the well-known The Wild Colonial Boy: "He robbed the rich to help the poor; he stabbed Judge McAvoy Jack Duggan, the Wild Colonial Boy."
Strangely enough, Leo McCaffrey, the balladeer, born in Fivemiletown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, has been for the past years one of the most popular singers in New Zealand. He appears regularly on TV in that country and has vastly popularized the ballads and folk songs of his native country there. McCaffrey's entire early training and experience was in Ireland where he became well-known through his concert tours and mounted the first rung on the success ladder by winning the Ulster Ballad singing championship. He later won the All-Ireland championship. From 1948 to 1955, he was regularly heard on the BBC and Radio Eireann. He left for New Zealand in 1956. McCaffrey's accompaniment on this record is the Pride of Erin Ceili Band led by Paul Harrop.
