Emerald Rose- Danny in the Jar

Check out Emerald Rose on the web http://www.emeraldrose.com


Oh Danny Boy o Danny, the pipes they are a-callin'
From glen to glen and down the mountainside we are a-fallin'
The summer's gone away, and all the flowers dyin'
'Tis you must go and I must bide, then to the pub I'm flyin'

Misha rum wack-a-do wack-a-day
Wack for the whisky o
Wack for the whisky o
There's Danny in the jar!

But if ye should come back, when summer's in the meadow
We'll drink a pint o' Guinness here in sunshine or in shadow
So find where I am lyin', and tell me that ye love me
Then pour a glass of whisky on that grave where ye have shoved me

(chorus)

And when I'm dead & rotten and flowers grow above me
Remember all the beer I drank and everyone who loved me
You'll say an Ave for me, the afterlife is risky
We're drinkin' holy water 'cause the Devil took the whisky!

(chorus)

There's a black velvet band on that green alligator
and McNamara's Band is playin' at the Dun Cow later
The Wild Colonial Boy gave ol' Finnegan's Wake a tussle
and Molly can't stop ravin' 'bout her cockles and her mussels

I bought this song on iTunes a little while ago- I've heard lots of versions of this song but Emerald Rose is probably my favorite.

Have you heard Come to the Dance by Emerald Rose? One of my favorite chants ever. :)

[PaganMale81]

Sure have, come and dance is posted on my channel. One of their best!

[PaganMale81]

oops, I misread, I thought you meant come and dance by Spiral Rhythm lol

I'll get Come to the Dance up for you in the next few days

Somehow I think the people who don't like this also don't realize that this is supposed to be a parody of "Danny Boy" and "Whiskey in the Jar". I personally LOVE this song and I first heard it on the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast by Marc Gunn. Needless to say, I bought the song!
