Title A name given to the resource The Turning of the Year Author: Dave Barron Singer: Dave Barron Subject The topic of the resource The Christian festival of Christmas was transposed on the ancient Celtic festival that marked the turning of the year at the time of the winter solstice. Both festivals were marked by religious ceremonies and by family celebrations and feasting. It was and is a time for hope and joy, for families and for building and storing memories for future reflection. The traditional air was used for the carol Christmas Day is Come (Caitriona O’Leary); another title for the melody is The Little Brown Mallet. Description An account of the resource Christmas time is here, the turning of the year; We celebrate with feasting and with hope for the new year, Chorus: And all enjoy the season, the turning of the year; Each home is full of happiness and all are of good cheer. Chorus The young folk journey home from places far and wide; Parents cry with joy to see them coming for Yuletide. Chorus The old folks tell their stories of Christmas long ago With simple gifts for simpler times: memories of pure gold. Chorus The children hush to bed and wait for morning light, Rushing down to see what came in the magic of the night. Chorus All bond with the feasting; Good food and drink and more; The old folk then doze, dreaming of Christmases of yore. Chorus And all distill their feelings to store in memory Storing thoughts for years to come of how it used to be. The happy thoughts will buffer the sadness yet to come, Of family ties and family joys at the time of the rising sun.

Description An account of the resource My friends spoke in the schoolyard When we went out to play; The story that I then heard Soon filled me with dismay. I wrote a note to Santa And asked Him to explain. The answer came back quickly And calmed my troubled brain. CHORUS And all who care and love me Were quick to comfort me: Where Santa’s people love and care That’s where Santa will be. My parents then spoke to me And cleared the mystery: Where Santa’s people love and care That’s where Santa will be. CHORUS My Nano* came and kissed me And she explained to me Family Care and family love At Santa’s Christmas tree.

Subject The topic of the resource LAMENT FOR THE CURLEW I hear no more the lonesome cry Of the curlew’s haunting call In the quiet of dark starlight sky sky Somewhere above my hall. CHORUS She’s fallen victim, with her kind, To mankind’s greed for MORE. When all is gone, it’s then we’ll find ENOUGH is more than MORE. Where once she called out to her mate, In bogs by Barrow’s shore, The empty sky is now her fate; The bogs are there no more. CHORUS The bogs she shared with cock and teal Are drained to make more crops; Now there's only one great field: No cover, gorse, or copse. CHORUS The mountain marsh where once she roamed With woodcock, snipe and hare Now grows only Pine tree groves. Dry ground beneath is bare. CHORUS We've taken much of Flora now From Nature's treasure trove: The Fauna soon will follow now, Then we'll be next to go. CHORUS We've fallen victim with our kind To our kind's greed for more; When all is gone it's then we'll find ENOUGH is MORE than MORE.

Title A name given to the resource My Carlow Song Authors: Brendan Harding, Bernard Jennings Singer 1; Paddy Delaney Singer 2: Ber Jennings Subject The topic of the resource Paddy and Bernard sing their versions of the song about Carlow places that bring pride in place Description An account of the resource Oh, to write a song like any man, that’s what I wish to do, And to sing about the place I love in words both fine and true, And let the one who has never seen the beauty of my home Imagine in his nightly dream the place where I come from. On Leinster’s mount above the vale are the nine stones standing proud, A blackbird perched upon a rock his song he sings aloud Where the tombs of kings and chieftains, they lie many on the land From Borris to Rathvilly town; they were built by native hand. Now the Barrow carves her course so wide through gentle rolling hills, Her water giving life to lands as over rock she spills Past Leighlinbridge and Muinebheag a-flowing to the sea; Oh, the beauty of her riverside is a pure delight to me. From Tinryland, Ballon to Clonegal you will find no better sights And south to Ballymurphy beneath the Blackstairs heights, At the abbey of Saint Moling where they bow their heads to pray As the sun it rises o’er the hills at the dawning of the day. In Carlow town her castle stands a beacon to her past Of how a troubled nation has found its way to last. Though blood was spilled upon her stones and children cried in pain Now flowers grow among her halls in sweet free Irish rain. Every child of God they surely love the place where they belong And every corner of the earth is praised in its own song, And my song is about the place where I was born and raised For I love my County Carlow until my dying Days.

Title A name given to the resource Mammon's World Author: Dave Barron Air: The Rising of the Moon Subject The topic of the resource For centuries ordinary people struggled under the oppression of the ruling classes; in Ireland there were many rebellions against the weight of colonial imperialism. While we now have political freedom, ordinary people are still under oppression from the financial moguls of the world. The old song, 'The Rising of the Moon' is about Irish people suffering under colonial oppression; the old air is used here in this song about the oppression of the new colonial rulers, the Bankers. Description An account of the resource You grew and built your business through long, hard working days: The bankers came and broke it, then they stole it all away. You cannot trust the bankers, their only god is greed And they hide behind their agents who do their dirty deeds. CHORUS They brought us rack and ruin, they brought us doom and gloom, Their fierce greed almost ruined us; vultures sing the same sad tune. The bankers’ god is Mammon, the Christians’ God, Yahweh; It’s awful sad to see today how Mammon trumps Yahweh. They’d no care for the workers, they’d no more care for you; They only cared for profits, that bonus-hungry crew. You offered to restructure, construct a new, fair loan, But they spurned you and your offer, then they took away your home. CHORUS You fought them to the High Court; the lawyers played their games; The lawyers all got well paid but their games still lost your claim. The law should lead to Justice, it’s sad that’s not the way; It’s legal games more than God’s Truth in the gold courts of today. CHORUS Your solace comes from family, from friends, your Christian creed; Leave the bankers and their Mammon to the rat-race world they breed. The bankers’ god is Mammon, the Christians’ God, Yahweh; It’s awful sad to see today how Mammon trumps Yahweh. CHORUS Liberty Social Comment
