lyrics

Oh, there’s been a woman in our town, A woman you ought know well,
She dearly loved her husband, And another man twice as well,

CHORUS
With me right finnickineerio, me tip finnick a wall,
With me right finnickineerio, We’re tipping it up to Nancy,

She went down to the chemist shop some remedies for to buy,
Have you anything in your chemist shop to make me old man blind?

CHORUS

“Give him eggs and marrowbones and make him suck them all,
Before he has the last one sucked, he won’t see you at all.”

CHORUS

She gave him eggs and marrowbones and made him suck them all,
Before he had the last one sucked, he couldn’t see her at all.

CHORUS

If in this world I cannot see, here I cannot stay.
I’d drown myself; “Come on,” says she, “and I’ll show you the way”

CHORUS

She led him to the river, she led him to the brim
But sly enough of Martin, it was him that shoved her in.

CHORUS

She swam through the river, she swam through the brine
“Oh Martin, dear Martin. Don’t leave me behind.”

CHORUS

“Oh Martin, dear Martin. Don’t leave me behind.”
“Yerra shut up outa that ye silly aul fool, ye know poor Martin is blind”

CHORUS

There’s nine in me family and none of them is my own,
I wish that each and every man would come and claim his own.

McMullan's playing is remedy for the hyped up, tickity-tackity playing you hear a lot these days. I hope to God I will never hear "Clumsy Lover" again, but if I do I pray it is Chris playing it. Rusty Gully

This album is stunning!! I love the vocals - Daoirí Farrell has such a fantastic voice. The bouzouki and touches of flute are so excellent. A really really fantastic Irish album! lynnaround

The latest LP from Brigid Mae Power is gorgeous and ghostly, setting Power’s voice against soft brushes of guitar, piano, & shuffling drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
