The First Ever Celtic Song: Written For The Bould Bhoys

Excellent and to the tune for us modern folk, the wearing of the green.
C'mon the hoops.
The wearing of the green was a cert from my wee ma on a weekly basis. Another one she sang that I thought was a beautiful ballad, was, cant remember the name but it ent

It was down in the Glenside I spied an old woman
She was picking at nettles, she ne'r saw me coming
I listened a while to the song she was humming
Glorio glorio, to the bold fenian men.

She was a great wee singer and Celtic fanatic, to the point of blatant insanity, if I'm honest. It wasn't my da who turned us into similar lunatics about Celtic, it as my wee ma.

Come on, Let's hear it for TVs Wee Ma.HH
 
Always enjoyed this one, no' heardit fur years though

Fine girl you are!
Adieu to you my Dinah a thousand times adieu
We`re going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true
We will sail the South sea over and then return for sure
To see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are! Your`re the girl that I adore
and still I live in hopes to see The Holy Ground once more. Fine girls you are!
See the storm a-rising I see it coming soon,
And the sky it is so cloudy you can scarcely see the moon.
And the good old ship, she was tossing about,
The riggin`was all tore, and still I live with hopes to see, The Holy ground once more.
And now the storm it is over and we are safe on shore,
We will drink a toast to the Holy Ground and the girls that we adore.
We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar,
And when our money is all spent we`ll go to sea for more. 🍺 🥳

Oops fucked this up again every time a went to my craigneuk grannies my grampa would see us all coming round the corner as he headed out for peace at the era bar, then all the kittens would appear from under the beds and my granny blaring out fine girl ye are with hail hail, and her eyes they Shawn like diamonds, great days I miss them so much
