¶Liedtext

While ould Phelim o’er his fiddle Flourishes his famous bow, Lad and lass along the middle All salute and rank in row. “Are yez full arranged and ready?” “Ready, Phelim, heart and heel!” “Off then, all!” and, smart and steady, Twenty couple step the reel. Whisper, Phelim, from the fairies Underneath the midnight moon Leadin’ up their light vagaries Have you stole that lovely tune? Since each dancer’s foot it follows Up and down the magic chime, For the world like slender swallows Racin’ in the meadow rime. At the double, at the treble, How the lads they leap and slide, Whilst the women wid their skimmin’ Teach the very swans to glide. Glancin’ shyly, blushin’ coyly, Arm to waist, around we wheel, Boys, between us all and Venus, What could best our Irish Reel? At the double, at the treble, We go dancin’, heart and heel. Boys, between us all and Venus, What could best our Irish Reel?
