Hey, Clio.
Talking about your hometown on the Rory thread there, reminded me of an old Christy Moore track which was set in Cork too.
Well, I thought it was a Christy song untill I googled for the lyrics, turns out it was one of Jimmy McCarthy's.
Anyway, do you know the story behind it? (If there is one!)
The Mad Lady And Me
Jimmy McCarthy
Among the walls and ruins,
Of the horrid civic stone,
I walked without a lover,
For my older bones.
The sun was strong and going down,
It was a dreamlike day,
It's there I met the trinity,
It's there I heard them say.
Chorus:
And she said bye bye Mama,
Goodbye brother John,
Fare thee well ye Shandon bells,
Ring on, ring on.
She leaned and leaned much closer,
And she hugged them all goodbye,
Her mother said "Don't go my love",
We all must by and by,
A drunken tongue said "leave her off",
She'll drive us all crazy,
She turned around and saw my face,
And both of us was she.
Chorus
Up on to the limestone wall,
And down the level steps,
She threw herself into the stream,
With a splash and no regrets,
Sidestroke swimming midstream,
Throwing kisses to the crowd,
And everything was silent,
And the sky had not one cloud.
Chorus
We were swimming out in the sunset,
We were swimming out to sea,
Swimming down by the opera house,
The Mad Lady and Me.
