At The Ceili

Song: At The Ceili
Artist: Celtic Woman
Album: A New Journey

Tonight were going to meet some lads
As girls who dressed up gaily
And well be dancing till the dawn
Were going to the Céili

The lads they come from miles around
From Venice and Comaley
To show us all their fancy steps
Were going to the Céili

Theyre playing tunes on everything
From pipes to ukulele
It sounds so good you cant sit down
Were dancing at the Céili

All the boys we love so well
So handsome, young and charming
Theyre in New York and Boston now
They should be home here farming
My own true love has sailed away
To be an endless rover
Cause times are tough and he will save
To start a new life over

He writes me letters every week
To say how much hes slavin
And he promises that hell be back
Before the hay needs savin
But its hard to love somebody
That youre not in touch with daily
So Im looking for somebody new
Tonight down at the Céili

The winter nights are long and hard
And time goes by so slowly
I wish my true love he was here
And in his arms Id go
Hed whisper tender words of love to me
And kiss my lips so sweetly
And quickly Id surrender to
His manly charms completely

He writes me letters every week
To say how much hes slavin
And he promises that hell be back
Before the hay needs savin
But its hard to love somebody
That youre not in touch with daily
So Im looking for somebody new
Tonight down at the Céili
So Im looking for somebody new
Tonight down at the Céili

I only need someone tonight
Wholl make my heart beat fast
A handsome man with laughing eyes
Who smiles as he walks past
The harp may play in old time worlds
Hell twirl me round the floor
Hell promise me that I will be
His girl forevermore
His girl forevermore
His girl forevermore
Hell promise me that I will be
His girl forevermore

Im somewhat ill and bothered
That is really quite alarming
I have two lads pursuing me
And each of them is charming
One of them is dark and poor
One fair with lots of money
I dont know which one to choose
The flower or the honey

What on earth am I to do
Its driving me half crazy
Tonight Ill make my mind up
When I see them at the Céili

To be a poor mans wife will be
A life of washin' dishes
When a rich mans wife will surely have
Great luxury and riches

In comfort how I know
It wouldnt be too hard to wallow
And being poor is not much fun
Which one should I follow

What on earth am I to do
Its driving me half crazy
Tonight Ill make my mind up
When I see them at the Céili

Ive been lucky Ive found a lad whos handsome and a neighbor

And me Ive met a decent man whos friendship I will savor

And me Ive made my choice as well and in no way was it easy
But Id rather have a man for love
Then to be a rich mans lady

And that is how the story ends
Be true and never fail me
We got ourselves three men tonight
And we met them at the Céili
