Learning Irish song lyrics is one of the best ways to express your Irish side. From the haunting emotion of "Danny Boy" to the rollicking irreverence of "Whiskey in the Jar," there is an Irish song for every mood. At Irish Expressions we love singing along, and we hope you do too!

Irish Song Lyrics: Find Out How Much You Already Know!
My Famous Irish Song list may be a small personal collection but there are so many traditional and famous Irish songs that attempting to make anything other than a personal selection is difficult if not impossible. Lyrics to Irish songs, like in many other cultures, have many different versions. As each singer or group make a song their own, they add or change a word or two. Depending on who you talk to, changing the original song writer's words is sacrilege or just part of the creative process. I am probably of the latter view. Where I know who has written the song lyrics, I include the name but I don't have all of them. By the way make sure you check out other traditional Irish song lyrics on our other Lyrics to Irish Songs page and you will also find some beautiful Irish love songs on our Irish Wedding Poems and Songs page and Irish love poems page. This one of the most famous Irish songs internationally was written by Frederic Weatherly and is also known as the 'Londonderry Air'. Oh Dan-ny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

This is one of the more popular pages on the DigitaldArragh. You will also be correct in recognising that not all of these songs are Irish. I am an uilleann piper. Please go over to my music site for videos and to learn a little more about what I do. It being in the springtime and the small birds they were singing, Down by yon shady harbour I carelessly did stray, The the thrushes they were warbling, The violets they were charming To view fond lovers talking, a while I did delay. The little boats are gone, from the breast of Anna Liffey And the Ferrymen are stranded on the Quay The Dublin docks are dying and a way of life is gone Molly it was part of you and me. I love my love and well she knows I love the ground whereon she goes I wish the day it soon would come When she and I could be as one.
