| From The Clancy Bros. and Tommy Makem, TLP 1042: The story behind
the genly lyric Castle of Dromore... is a curious one. The misic
is believed to date from the eighth century. A manuscript of it
was found in the ruins of the town of Cashel, once the seat of the
Kingdom of Munster. No words were found to it, and they were then
written in English. Subsequently the lyrics were rewritten in Gaelic,
and once again, converted into English.
O'Driscoll was written by William Butler Yeats at the turn of the
century, also known as "The Host of the Air", see "In Person at
Carnegie Hall" CB&TM.

| Let me see how much I can remember:
The October winds lament about the castle of Dromore
And peace be in thy lofty halls my golden treasure store
The autumn leaves may wither and die
But a bud of spring are you
Singing hushabye loo lo loo lo lan
Sing hushabye loo la roo.
Bring no ill wind to hinder us, my helpless babe and me
Dread spirit of the Blackwater, Clan Eoghan's wild Banshee
And Holy Mary pity on us
In heaven where grace doth suit
Singing...etc.
Take time to grow, my ray of hope in the garden of Dromore
Take heed, young eaglet, 'til your wings are feathered fit to soar.
A little time and then the world
Is full of things to do
Singing... etc.
Slan,
Roxanne

| I taped this song from WNTN and it has a nice tune to it.
By the way, I have been typing in words to selected songs in
order that I may learn them quicker. If anyone thinks its a
good idea, I can post them (as I write them) to replies to a note.
They are songs sung by, for example, the Wolftones, Dublin City
Ramblers, Barley Corn, The Morrisseys, Paul Brady, Christy Moore,
--> all of my favorites.
