One Bottle More |
||||||||||||||
This tune, "One Bottle More", has been in print since the 18th century, with a variant called Paddy MacRory. It has been attributed to the blind Irish harper Turlough Carolan (1670-1738), although not with certainty. It is certainly in his style and was known in his district. Carolan's tune or not, here's a drinking song to it, taken from the Edinburgh Musical Miscellany, p. 218-219, published in Edinburgh, 1793.
1. Assist me ye lads, who have hearts void of guile, to sing in the praises of old Ireland's isle. Chorus: One bottle more, arra, one bottle more, 2. Old England, your taunts on our country forbear; With our bulls, and our brogues, we are true and sincere, Sheet music and lyrics are on the music pages. You will have to find your own bottles and your own shillellagh. |
