The Kerry Dance - John McCormack

Oh the days of the Kerry dancing

Oh the ring of the piper’s tune

Oh for one of those hours of gladness

Gone alas like our youth too soon.

When the boys began to gather

In the glade of a summer’s night

And the merry pipers tuning

Made us dance with wild delight.

Oh to think of it, oh to dream of it

Fills my heart with tears

Oh the days of the Kerry dancing
