An Bairille (Rocky Road to Dublin)

      N.B.  Because of the speed, repetitons are omitted (in the English lyrics). They would literally go:

"I would make my way to the two bottoms, the two bottoms,

I would make my way to the two bottoms of two barrels" (and so on)

  

      Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh learnt the song "An Bairille" from the singing of "an Pound" (Seamus Beag Ó Luing), a great storyteller, raconteur, wit and Irish language exponent from Dún Chaoin/Dunquin (a Gaeltacht village in west County Kerry), who passed away in 1975.
