Tommy Makem - Cruiscin Lan lyrics
Your rating:
Let the farmer praise his grounds, let the hunter praise his hounds, Letthe shepherd praise his sweetly scented lawn; But I, more blest than they, spend each happy night and day With my darlin' little cruiscin lan, lan, lan Oh, my darlin little cruiscin lan. Chorus: Gra-ma-chree ma-cruiscin, slainte geal mavoorneen Gra-machree ma cruiscin lan lan lan, Oh! gramachree ma cruiscan lan Immortal and divine, great Bacchus, god of wine Create me by adoption your own son. In hopes that you'll comply, That my glass shall ne'er run dry Nor my darlin' little cruiscan lan lan lan My darlin' little And when cruel Death appears, in a few but happy years, To tell me that my glass has run, I'll say, 'Begone, you knave! For great Bacchus gave me leave To take another cruiscan lan lan lan To take another cruiscan lan lan lan
