| Lyrics: | Let Union Be in All Our Hearts
Come on, lads, and let's be jolly
Drive away all
melancholy,
For, to grieve it would be folly,
While we are together.
cho:Let
union be in all our hearts,
Let all our hearts be joined as one.
We'll end the day as we
begun,
We'll end it all in pleasure.
Right-folla-rolla-rye, too-ra-lie-doe
(3x)
While we are together.
Old King Solomon, in all his glory,
Told each wife
a different story,
Of the things that we delight in,
While we are
together.
cho:
Eating and drinking are quite charming,
(or: courting and
drinking, if you prefer)
Smoking and piping there's no harm in.
(or: piping and
dancing)
These are things we take delight in,
While we are
together.
cho:
Grab the bottle as it passes,
Do not fail to fill your
glasses.
(or: Come on, lads, and raise your glasses
Grab the bottle as it
passes)
Water drinkers are dull asses,
While we are together.
cho:
Cease
your quarreling and fighting,
Evil thinking and backbiting.
All these things take no
delight in,
While we are together.
cho:
given by Maddy De Leon,
and Mark Gilston, who learned it from Jim Mageean.
It was originally a grange song and the
original
chorus was:
Let union be in all our farms,
Let all our farms be joined as
one.
