Curragh Of Kildare - Dexys

Oh the winter it has passed

And the summer’s here with last

The small birds are singing in the trees

Their little hearts are glad

Mine is very sad

For my true love is far away from me

The rose upon the briar

And the water running clear

Then the enchantment

To the linnet and the bee

Their little hearts are blessed

Oh but mine can know no rest

For my true love is far away from me

Oh it’s straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare

Because it’s there I’ll find tidings of my dear

A livery I will wear and I’ll comb back my hair

(Yes, he will, Yes, he will)

And in velvet shades of green I will appear

Oh this I want to take for my own true lover’s sake

Oh it’s straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare

Because it’s there, I’ll find tidings of my dear

All you who are in love

(yeah, that’s me)

But cannot it remove

(that's me too)

I pity the pain (yeah) that you endure

(you gotta experience)

For experience lets me know (ohh)

That your hearts are full of woe (Hearts are full of woe aw)

(I've got this pain)

And the pain no mortal can endure

Oh it’s straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare huh

Because it’s there I’ll find tidings of my dear (nobody said)

And this tree I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare

I’ve got to go, I’ve got to find tidings of my dear
