At The C\u00e9ili
Celtic Woman

ALL:

Tonight we're going to meet some lads

As girls who dressed up gaily

And we'll be dancing till the dawn

We're going to the Ceili

The ones they come from miles around

From Venice and from

To show us all their fancy steps

We're going to the Ceili

They're playing tunes on everything

From pipes to ukulele

It sounds so good you can't sit down

We're dancing At The Ceili

LISA:

All the boys we love so well

So handsome, young and charming

They're 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 he's slavin'

And he promises that he'll be back

Before the hay needs savin'

But it's hard to love somebody

That you're not in touch with daily

So I'm looking for somebody new

Tonight down At The Ceili

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 I'd go

He'd whisper tender words of love to me

And kiss my lips so sweetly

And quickly I'd surrender to

His manly charms completely

ALL:

He writes me letters every week

To say how much he's slavin'

And he promises that he'll be back

Before the hay needs savin'

But it's hard to love somebody

That you're not in touch with daily

So I'm looking for somebody new

Tonight down At The Ceili

So I'm looking for somebody new

Tonight down At The Ceili

ORLAGH:

I only need someone tonight

Who'll make my heart beat fast

A handsome man in black and white

Who smiles as he walks past

The harp may play in old time worlds

He'll twirl me round the floor

He'll promise me that I will be

His girl forevermore

His girl forevermore

His girl forevermore

He'll promise me that I will be

His girl forevermore

MEAV:

I'm somewhat ill and bothered

That is really quite alarming

I have to lads pursuing me

And each of them is charming

One of them is dark and poor

One pale with lots of money

I don't know which one to choose

The flowered or the funny

What on earth am I to do

It's driving me half crazy

Tonight I'll make my mind up

When I see them At The Ceili

To be a poor man's wife will be

A life of washing dishes

When a rich man's wife will surely have

Great luxury and riches

In comfort how I know

It wouldn't be too hard to wallow

But being poor is that much fun

Which one should I follow?

ALL:

What on earth am I to do

It's driving me half crazy

Tonight I'll make my mind up

When I see them At The Ceili:

LISA:

I've been lucky I've found a lad who's handsome and a neighbor

ORLAGH:

And me I've met a decent man who's friendship I will savor

MEAV:

And me I've made my choice as well and in no way was it easy

But I'd rather have a man for love

Then to be a rich man's lady

ALL:

And that is how the story ends

Be true and never fail me

We got ourselves three men tonight

And we met them
