Celtic Woman At the Ceili

Tonight were going to meet some lads As girls who dressed up gaily And well be dancing till the dawn Were going to the Céili The lads they come from miles around From Venice and Comaley To show us all their fancy steps Were going to the Céili Theyre playing tunes on everything From pipes to ukulele It sounds so good you cant sit down Were dancing at the Céili All the boys we love so well So handsome, young and charming Theyre in New York and Boston now They should be home here farming My own true love has sailed away To be an endless rover Cause times are tough and he will save To start a new life over He writes me letters every week To say how much hes slavin And he promises that hell be back Before the hay needs savin But its hard to love somebody That youre not in touch with daily So Im looking for somebody new Tonight down at the Céili The winter nights are long and hard And time goes by so slowly I wish my true love he was here And in his arms Id go Hed whisper tender words of love
