Lyrics And Chords In D
[D]Oh! My boat can safely[D7] float in the[G] teeth of wind and[D] weather
And[D] outrace the fastest[Bm] hooker between[Em] Galway and Kin[A]sale;
When the[D] black floor of the[Bm] ocean and the[G] white foam rush to[D]gether,
High she[G] rides, in her[Bm] pride, like a [G]sea-gull through the[D] gale.
cho:[D] Oh she's neat! Oh she's sweet! She's a[A7] beauty in ev'ry[D] line!
The[A] Queen of Conne[D]mara is that[Bm] bounding[A] barque of [D]mine.
When she's loaded down with fish till the water lips the gunwale,
Not a drop she'll take on board her that would wash a fly away;
From the fleet she'll slip out swiftly like a greyhound from her kennel,
And she'll land her silver store the first at ould Kinvara quay.
There's a light shines out afar, and it keeps me from dismaying
When the skies are ink above us and the sea runs white with foam,
In a cot in Connemara there's a wife and wee one praying
To the One who walked the waters once, to send us safely home.

The songs and music of Ireland epitomize the soul of Ireland! Songs of Ireland take us back down memory lane, through the highways and by- ways of this ancient land. Those traditional songs tell of the joys, sorrows and triumphs of the Gael.
A song like Queen of Conemara is certainly here to stay: it takes us back in fancy to picturesque and historic Conemara, home of the native- speaking sons in the County Galway and a town that has often been written of in song and story. Conemara is known officially as the "Home of the Gaeltacht." It is here that thousands of young Irish boys and girls from the four provinces come to learn the tongue of the Gael. This Gaeltacht is officially recognized by the government of the Republic of Ireland. Then, too, Conemara is on a par with Killarney as a tourist attraction, thou- sands from all over the world visiting there each year.) You're sure to love this album's interpretation of Queen of Conemara by vocalist Tadgh O'Regan, who has a voice of exceptional quality and has been hailed by the Irish music critics.
In the good old days, cross-road dancing was in vogue in the thirty-two countries, and while by now the dance hall has replaced the cross roads, the popularity of the jigs, reels and hornpipes goes merrily on. Modern music has not yet replaced these traditional airs-and most probably never will. The music for these dances is supplied by Ceilidhe Bands. One of the most popular of such bands is the Ciaran Kelly musical unit heard here, which is well-known throughout the four provinces.
Since jigs, reels and hornpipes are so fully synonymous with the traditional music of Ireland, it is not surprising to find that they are not only played with gusto in Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught, but are also beloved in this country. Today in New York, for example, we have Ceilidhe Bands, sponsored by Gaelic Societies, that feature such music. Thus it is also not surprising to find that Ciaran Kelly's is both a household name in the old sod and not at all unknown in America.
