Brighidin Ban Mo Store lyrics
Song information
Artist: Andy M. Stewart
Album: Fire In The Glen
Lyrics
I am a wand'ring minstrel man
And love my only theme
I've stray'd beside the pleasant bann
And eke the shannon's stream;
I've pip'd and play'd to wife and maid
By barrow, suir, and nore
But never met a maiden yet
Like brighidin ban mo store
My girl hath ringlets rich and rare
By nature's fingers wove -
Loch-carra's swan is not so fair
As her breast of love;
And when she moves, in sunday sheen
Beyond our cottage door
I'd scorn the high-born saxon queen
For brighidin ban mo store
It is not that thy smile is sweet
And soft thy voice of song -
It is not that thou fleest to meet
My comings lone and long;
But that doth rest beneath thy breast
A heart of purest core
Whose pulse is known to me alone
My brighidin ban mo store!
