Fairy Dance Lyrics

Looking down from the hilltop high

A bell-like sound I heard floating nigh

Far across the field I saw the good Fae Folk

Dancing with the breeze and a fair voice spoke

Oh won't you come join, down by the Boyne

Drink and be merry, not a load you will carry

Dance with me in the morning dew

Wearing crowns of cornflower blue

Greet the moon at the end of the day

I'll give you stars to light your way

The food of love may music be

But I'd be dancing here for all eternity

So turning back for home I ran along

But that same voice did call me in song

Oh won't you come join, down by the Boyne

Drink and be merry, not a load you will carry

Dance with me in the morning dew

Wearing crowns of cornflower blue

Greet the moon at the end of the day

I'll give you stars to light your way

A hundred years go by

Pass like minutes in the moonlight

All those I loved are gone

For I got caught in time

With the Fae Folk in kind

But your memory will keep warm my heart in hope

Dance with me in the morning dew

Wearing crowns of cornflower blue

Greet the moon at the end of the day

I'll give you stars to light your way

Dúlamán na binne buí

Dúlamán Gaelach

Dúlamán na farraige

Be'fhearr a bhí in Éirinn
