ted egan - the irish jaunting car lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
naturally, having irish grandparents, i learnt a lot of songs from ireland
my grandparents brought this one with them
it’s about the lovely little vehicles – horse-drawn vehicles – in ireland, called jaunting cars

[verse 1]
sure, i am an irish carman
old ireland is my home
there’s not a spot on all this world
from here i wish to roam
for i’d like to greet the strangers
as they come from near and far
to the sights and the scenes of old ireland
in the irish jaunting car

[chorus]
for driving on me jaunting car
from roscommon to kildare
from dublin down to castle bar
from there to county clare
from cork to limerick and athlone
then home by mullingar
you can view the lakes of k!llarney
from me irish jaunting car

[verse 2]
some people now for a change of air
go far across the main
to view the sights and the scenery
of italy and of spain
but if only nature could command
they wouldn’t go so far
they’d come and they’d have a jaunt with me
in me irish jaunting car

[chorus]
for driving on me jaunting car
from roscommon to kildare
from dublin down to castle bar
from there to county clare
from cork to limerick and athlone
then home by mullingar
you can view the lakes of k!llarney
from me irish jaunting car

[verse 3]
to write about old ireland
commands the poets pen
ireland on the battlefield
produces the best of men
and if you want to see me
just step in to mr mar
and enquire for larry doolan
and his irish jaunting car

[chorus]
for driving on me jaunting car
from roscommon to kildare
from dublin down to castle bar
from there to county clare
from cork to limerick and athlone
then home by mullingar
you can view the lakes of k!llarney
from me irish jaunting car
you can view the lakes of k!llarney
from me irish jaunting car
