Call for the Bards


Siobhán an Einigh of Connacht            


Lyrics: Siobhán an Einigh of Connacht
Tune: All for me Grog

(Chorus)
Call for the bards, the jolly jolly bards
call for the lutes and the pipers!
For the fire is stocked high
And my lips, they are not dry
And I want to sing some songs now til the morrow!

Where are the songs, the jolly jolly songs?
Call for the lutes and the pipers!
Sung in any key you may
So all can come and play
Come belt along with us until the morrow!

And we'll
Chorus

Where are the drums, the jolly jolly drums?
Call for the lutes and the pipers!
For the pattern that they play
Causes all the girls to sway
Come dance around the fire til the morrow!

And we'll
Chorus

Where are the tales, the jolly jolly tales?
Call for the lutes and the pipers!
Of the grand ol' days of yore,
The sagas of before.
We'll laugh and joke and listen til the morrow!

Then we'll
Chorus


(slower, artfully)
Now is the dawn, the bright and shining dawn
Sleep calls the lutes and the pipers!
As the notes now drift away
Time to greet another day
But.... (Pause)
I'll know I will be back again tomorrow!

When we'll (chorus)
