Swing Low Sweet Chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and
What did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home?
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home;

Sometimes I'm up,
Sometimes I'm down,
Comin' for to carry me home;

Yet still my soul feels heavn'ly bound,
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home

Delilah

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window,
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind.
She was my woman,
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind.

My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free.
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

My, my, my Delilah
Why, why, why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more.

(insert trumpet solo here)

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

Flower of Scotland

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

And Autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him home again
Tae think again

Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's Army
And sent him home again
Tae think again.

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit Hill and Glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

Fields of Athenry

By the lonely prison wall.
I heard a young girl calling.
"Michael, they are taking you away, for you"
stole Trevelyn's corn. So the young might see the morn.
Now a prisonship lies waiting in the bay.

Chorus
"Low lie, the Fields of Athenry, where"
once we watched the small free birds fly. Our
"love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing."
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling.
"Nothing matters Mary when you're free,"
Against the Famine and the Crown
"I rebelled, they ran me down."
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

Chorus

By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling.
And that prison ship sailed out against the sky.
"Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,"
for her love in Botany Bay.
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Ireland's Call

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

From the mighty Glens of Antrim
From the rugged hills of Galway
From the walls of Limerick
And Dublin Bay
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Hearts of steel
And heads unbowing
Vowing never to be broken
We will fight, until
We can fight no more
From the four proud provinces of Ireland

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

The Danny Grewcock

(to the tune of the Hokey Cokey)
You put your right hook in
Your right hook out
In out in out
you shake it all about
You do the Danny Grewcock and you turn around
That's what it's all about
OHHHHH the Danny Grewcock
OHHHHH the Danny Grewcock etc etc....

The Haka

Ka mate - Ka mate
Ka ora - Ka ora
Ka mate - Ka mate Ka ora
- Ka ora Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Upane - Upane
Upane Kaupane
Whiti te ra

...a very rough translation!
It is death - It is death
It is life - It is life
It is death - It is death
It is life - It is life
This is the hairy man
Who caused the sun to shine again for me
Up the ladder - Up the ladder
Up to the top
The sun shines!
