Noo’s the Day
(A missive to Westminster)
Tune: Mo Ghile Mear

Chorus
A nation aye, a country, naw,
A sovereign state is naw for aw,
The Union’s back’s against the wa’,
So noo’s the day, come follow.

1. Time tae brek Westminster’s chains,
Time tae re-enforce yir veins,
England loses, Scotland gains,
A legacy tae gie yir weans;

2. Three hunner years we’ve had tae dree,
Awa’ divine authority,
What price noo, oor liberty,
Rule yirsel’ an’ let us be.

Chorus

3. Ye never liked us, noo’s yir chance,
Here’s a warnin’ in advance,
A ‘New Alliance’, we’ll mak wi’ France,
‘Cause we’re up tae here wi’ yir dominance.

Chorus

Comment by William Alexander Henderson on September 11, 2011 at 15:12: BALLYWALLY

Words & Music by Billy Henderson

1. Donegal, fairest of all,

Your rivers and hillsAnd your minimal bills;

No matter where I go, you’re better than Sligo,

Where you’ll catch impetigoAt the drop of a scone.

2. In ol’ County Derry, I drank masel’ merry

An’ the ale tasted funny In fair Ballymoney,

County Cavan was rough, an’ I ran out o’ puff

In Ballyjamesduff

Drinkin’ whisky wi’ an ’e’.

3. Lovely Tyrone, you stand on your own,

Where your crystal’s renownedAnd your taverns abound;

With your colourful gamps, and your friendly wee ramps,

Just a few slipper camps,You’re much better than Down.

4. In beautiful Laois, you can pick up a quiche,

So tasty and pure-oFor less than a euro

When the midges I chase, I can cover my face

With your Mountmellick lace,Repellents’- be damned!

5. I think of Mayo, wherever I go,

Down in Clew BaySpent a week there one day,

When your day’s work is done, old songs will be sung,

Every county has one,But Mayo’s got nine.

6. In Ballybofey, the weather’s ay grey,

In sweet BallyfermotYou can live like a hermit.

I wrote off my car in old Ballygar,How I long for Kilcar,And a song in John Joe’s

There’s no such place as Ballywally, but there’s a bally-everywhere-else in Ireland.
