A MOUNTAIN SPINNING SONG	A
A Young Girl sings it	B
THE Lannan Shee	C
Watched the young man Brian	D
Cross over the stile towards his father's door	E
And she said 'No help	F
For now he'll see	G
His byre his bawn and his threshing floor	E
And oh the swallows	H
Forget all wonders	I
When walls with the nests rise up once more '	J
My strand is knit	B
	-
'Out of the dream	K
Of me into	L
The round of his labour he will grow	M
To spread his fields	N
In the winds of spring	O
And tramp the heavy glebe and sow	P
And cut and clamp	Q
And rear the turf	R
Until the season when they mow '	-
My wheel runs smooth	S
	-
'And while he toils	T
In field and bog	U
He will be anxious in his mind	V
About the thatch	C
Of barn and rick	W
Against the reiving autumn wind	V
And how to make	X
His gap and gate	Y
Secure against the thieving kind '	-
My wool is fine	Z
	-
'He has gone back	A2
No more I'll see	G
Mine image in his deepening eyes	B2
Then I'll lean above	C2
The Well of the Bride	D2
And with my beauty peace will rise	B2
O autumn star	E2
In a lake well hid	F2
Fill up my heart and make me wise '	-
My quick brown wheel	G2
	-
'The women bring	O
Their pitchers here	H2
At the time when the stir of the house is o'er	I2
They'll see my face	J2
In the well water	I2
And they'll never lift their pitchers more	E
For each will say	K2
'How beautiful	L2
Why should I labour any more	E
Indeed I come	M2
Of a race so fine	Z
'Twere waste to labour any more ''	-
My thread is spun	D
	-
	-
AN ISLAND SPINNING SONG	A
An Older Girl sings if	N2
One came before her and said beseeching	O
'I have fortune and I have lands	O2
And if you'll share in the goods of my household	P2
All my treasure's at your commands '	-
	-
But she said to him 'The goods you proffer	I2
Are far from my mind as the silk of the sea	G
The arms of him my young love round me	G
Is all the treasure that's true for me '	-
	-
'Proud you are then proud of your beauty	G
But beauty's a flower will soon decay	K2
The fairest flowers they bloom in the summer	I2
They bloom one summer and they fade away '	-
	-
'My heart is sad then for the little flower	I2
That must so wither where fair it grew	L
He who has my heart in keeping	O
I would he had my body too '	-
	-
	-
A MIDLAND SPINNING SONG	A
An Old Woman sings if	N2
There was an oul' trooper went riding by	Q2
On the road to Carricknabauna	D
And sorrow is better to sing than cry	Q2
On the way to Carricknabauna	D
And as this oul' trooper went riding on	D
He heard this sung by a crone a crone	D
On the road to Carricknabauna	D
	-
'I'd spread my cloak for you young lad	R2
Were it only the breadth of a farthen	D
And if your mind was as good as your word	S2
In troth it's you I'd rather	I2
In dread of ere forgetting this	T2
And before we go any farther	I2
Hoist me up to the top of the hill	U2
And show me Carricknabauna '	-
	-
'Carricknabauna Carricknabauna	D
Would you show me Carricknabauna	D
I lost a horse at Cruckmaelinn	D
At the Cross of Bunratty I dropped a limb	V2
But I left my youth on the crown of the hill	U2
Over by Carricknabauna '	-
Girls young girls the rush light is done	D
What will I do till my thread is spun	D
