The Woman From Ballaghaderreen

[00:20.27] We were clean lifting on the back roads of Clifden
[00:23.65] I'd been drawing bales to Kinsale
[00:26.99] And I gave 2 weeks, milking cows in Abbeyleix
[00:30.23] I was welding steel in Abbeyfeale
[00:33.57] And we went on the tear all around County Clare
[00:36.86] We ate 14 fries in the town of Athy
[00:40.35] I built a stone wall from Inch to Annascaul
[00:43.53] I was herding a herd in Wexford
[00:46.75] We got 32 counties of culchies and townies
[00:50.54] Football and hurling and turf fires burning
[00:53.40] The most beautiful woman that you've ever seen
[00:56.96] Was driving a digger up in Ballahadereen
[01:00.07] I been saving all my money to get down on one knee
[01:06.81] And then I'll never leave my Irish cailín
[01:13.28] I was driving a truck, all the way to Rosmuc
[01:16.65] I had silage to haul in Cushendall
[01:19.81] Leaning on a sweeping brush for the council in Kilrush
[01:23.23] I was rigging down in Balbriggan
[01:26.51] And we were burning rubber to get out of Ballintubber
[01:30.07] We drank a full keg with the boys of Killybegs
[01:33.19] Mixing grout by the bucket for a tiler in Belmullet
[01:36.49] I was mixing cement in Buttevent
[01:39.79] We got 32 counties of culchies and townies
[01:43.42] Football and the hurling and turf fires burning
[01:46.33] The most beautiful woman that you've ever seen
[01:49.98] Was driving a digger up in Ballahadereen
[01:53.05] I been saving all my money to get down on one knee
[01:59.84] And then I'll never leave my Irish cailín
[02:07.33]
[02:19.50] And it kills me to see the young people leave
[02:23.00] My heart breaks for this old town
[02:26.02] I've got cousins in Boston and Sydney too
[02:29.68] An uncle in London and a girl in Kathmandu
[02:32.25] I've got the woman of my dreams, so I'll never leave
[02:36.02] She says Up your Ma, Up your Da, Up Feckin Armagh
[02:40.51] 32 counties of culchies and townies
[02:43.02] Football and the hurling and turf fires burning
[02:45.99] The most beautiful woman that you've ever seen
[02:49.57] Was driving a digger up in Ballahadereen
[02:52.55] I been saving all my money to get down on one knee
[02:59.44] And then I'll never leave my Irish cailín
[03:06.21] Would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya be well?
[03:09.15] Ah ya would, ya would, ya would, ya would, ya would I can tell
[03:12.30] Would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya marry me?
[03:15.78] Would ya marry me, the woman from Ballahadereen?
