An Bearla

The nobility was plentiful,
And ordinary folkfrom Scotland,
The school master and the minister,
With the warrior MacAuley there.

chorus
It was Do/nal, it was Do/nal,
It was Do/nal made the wedding,
It was Do/nal and Mo/rag that made a
famous wedding.

The meat of hens and geese there were,
With a dozen cormorants and more,
Of all the foods on offer there,
The tender chicken they did prefer.

chorus

There were Erne trout and salmon there,
With meat of game and wildfowl,
Prime beef and veal made a tasty meal,
With roasts of lamb and venison.

chorus

The varied drinks were plentiful,
With Spanish wine and brandy,
Distilled poteen and honey mead,
And ale and beer from Erin.

chorus
