Title A name given to the resource My Ballinabranna Home Author : Seamus Dunne Singer: Seamus Dunne Subject The topic of the resource A song in praise of Ballinabranna, place and people Theme: Pride in Place Description An account of the resource You may sing about Killarney and the homes of Donegal But one place is so dear to me, it’s the very best of all. The place that I return to no matter where I roam, It’s that little spot in Carlow, It’s my Ballinabranna Home. When young I often walked by the Barrow down below And gazed upon the barges and wondered where they’d go. We used to swim there by the weir and frolicked in the foam; ‘Twas scarcely half-a-mile away from my Ballinabranna Home. I remember too the fields around where we hurled and played football. Jack Dunne, John Brien and Billy Dobbs, those great men I recall. It’s thanks to them and many more and the foresight they had shown That we have a pitch and clubhouse in my Ballinabranna Home. I remember too the little schools by the churchgate, one each side, For the teaching of John Conwill they were known both far and wide. John tyndall, a great scientist, and the famous Cardinal moran Were two of the great scholars from my Ballinabranna Home. The old girls school became the hall where we danced on Friday night When the local basnd they took the stage they filled us with delight. Some of those musicians to their eternal rest have gone But Ber Landy is still playing around my Ballinabranna Home. It was in that hall we saw the plays produced by Master Doyle; The casts they put on a great show after many weeks of toil. ‘Sharon’s Grave’ and ‘Sive’ were some of the plays well known That we were entertained with in my Ballinabranna Home. And the people of the village, I’ve left them until last, They all helped one another in the hard times that are past. They shared the little that they had, spuds and veg they had grown. Ah, the neighbours they were great back then in my Ballinabranna Home. The chapel of St. Fintan’s with its graveyard closely by, Where my parents and relations in peaceful slumber lie. It’s where I hope my bones will rest there in that sacred loam And forever be contented in my Ballinabranna Home.

Title A name given to the resource The Seasons of Our Years Author: Dave Barron Air: Shanagolden Singer: Mick O'connor Subject The topic of the resource Theme: The old song Shanagolden, is a love song of unfulfilled love, cut short by premature death; some have been luckier in life to have found fulfilment through a long and happy marriage. The imagery of the seasons reflects the different stages of love for a couple as they move through life together until one must pass over and leave the partner for a time, until the spirits are reunited in eternity. The mortal cycle of life is replaced by the linear life of the spirit. Description An account of the resource THE SEASONS OF OUR YEARS Do you remember, darling, the springtime of our years, The passion, the tensions, the laughter, and some fears? We planted love together and tended it with care And we faced into our seasons, uncertain what lay there. Do you remember, darling, the summer of our years? Our love produced fresh saplings, with all new hopes and fears. They needed careful pruning, much energy and care; They took the focus of our love, through years of sun and rain. Then we enjoyed high summer, high summer of our years. The saplings that we tended were now fine strong young trees. We’d now more time together, more time to give and share And to face into next season, our love still rich and rare. And then we reached our autumn, the harvest of our years, We thanked the Lord in Heaven for all the gifts we reaped. We faced into our winter, the lonely frost and cold, With confidence and comfort in the springtime of our souls. Now we’ve reached our winter and cold frost chills our bones; The saplings that we tended now have saplings of their own. Soon I’ll leave this cycle, into the world of soul; There I’ll wait for you, my darling, and together we’ll go home.

Title A name given to the resource The Secrets of the Stones Author: Dave Barron Air: England's Motorway Subject The topic of the resource England’s Motorway is a song about the Irish man away from home and building a legacy in stone. Ireland’s culture was one of oral tradition and most buildings in the Celtic era were made from wood. However, there was also stone work of exceptional quality, think of the passage tombs, the great Dolmens, the Celtic crosses, the round towers, the tower houses, the castles. Imagine the stories they could tell about our history and our ancestors; if only we knew how to tap into the ‘secrecies of stone’! Description An account of the resource The druids worshipped golden Fionn five thousand years ago; They marked his birthday every year in monuments of stone; And when mid-winter morning sun peeped o’er the rim of gold It lit the shrine of Newgrange stone right to the very core. CHORUS It’s in our bones and it’s in the stones, It’s hidden in the stones. The story of our Irish soul Is written in the stones CúChulainn chose a life so short, but long-term fame and glory. He lived life well, he faced his hells, he lives in tale and story; And when his time to pass came round, much sooner than for most He died alone, the raven found him fastened to a stone. CHORUS Our Celtic bards kept history in song and tale and lore. The early monks then wrote their books in timber huts, remote. But huts were burned and lore forgot, we needed something more So Cill and tower, and cell and bower were built with solid stone. CHORUS The Celtic clans built dún and rath in timber, more than stone; But Norman towers, a stronger power, used harder, lasting stone. Then English walls maintained their laws, the Celtic way was o’er, The people gone, the culture lost but minded in the stones.

Title A name given to the resource Mother Author: Dave Barron Air: May Morning Dew Subject The topic of the resource May Morning Dew is a love song: what greater love is there than that between a mother and child? It is not the same as love for a partner, child, grandchild, father or friend. It is unique in its depth and gentleness and is often, sadly, only fully appreciated when the mother has passed away. Description An account of the resource MOTHER The bright wind of Springtime brings you to my mind, Filled with fine promise, all gentle and kind; Fountain of hope and my bright, guiding star, Still guiding my life choice from Heaven afar. The soft breeze of Summer recalls you and me Enjoying the garden in the shade of the trees; My love for you deepens with each passing breeze. When I think how you loved me my heart melts in tears. The chill wind of Autumn means harvest is here, Storing the fresh fruits and the yields of the year. Your harvest of wisdom, gleaned through your years, Shared freely and wisely throughout all our years. The wild wínds of Winter bring warm thoughts of you; Through the wild storms of life your guidance was true; Your warm hearth was cosy, where love warmed the air, Just like your own heart and the peace that lay there. All winds and all seasons keep you in my mind, Your wisdom and guidance, so gentle and kind. Your caring and sharing made our house a home. Your peace is all gone now, Mother, mo bhrón.

Title A name given to the resource Life Author: Dave Barron Air: Siun Ui Dhuibhir Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Transience of Life's joys, sadnesses and potential.The old song Siun Uio Dhuibhir tells the story of missed opportunity for love. Life passes so quick-ly. Some see it as a few brief moments of joy in a sea of sadness; others see it as a sad time lead-ing to hope for happiness in a distant new life. Whatever the belief, we should seek to make the most of each phase of our life, to seek fulfilment of the innate potential within us. Description An account of the resource LIFE Farewell to the days of our youth, now long gone bye, The red sap that pulsed through young limbs now sere and dry; The hot pulse that throbbed in wild heart and fiery limbs, Now chilled and faded in time as memory dims. Lonely and sad are the parents when young must depart, Leaving the family home and the warmth of the hearth; Memories of moments, days full of joy and sun; The brighter the memories, the darker the sorrows run. Deep is the grief and sorrow when old friends must part, A dark pall of gloom to pummel and bruise the heart; The pain and the darkness strangle the joy of life; Dismal and drear is the feeling, both day and night. Sad is the heart when lovers must say goodbye; The wild passion and zest of fresh love long gone bye; The laughter and glow now lost in a sea of tears; Lovers no more, just companions in their last years. So sadness and joy are parts of our human life; The higher the joy the deeper our grief will lie; To each phase of life one question remains the key: Am I content, or, Am I all I might be?

Title A name given to the resource Green Hills of Rossmore Author: Seamus Dunne Singer: Seamus Dunne Second singer: Fiach Moriarty Subject The topic of the resource Theme: Pride in place and the end of the colliery Description An account of the resource Location: Carlow west Seamus remembers life as a collier and some sights of Rossmore, before having to emigrate when the works closed There’s many a place in Ireland of fame and great renown And there’s one of them so dear to me quite near to Carlow town. I’ll love this place forever, it is part of all my core, It’s the place where I was born and reared on the green hills of Rossmore. On looking down from these high hills, fine sights there can be seen, With the Barrow flowing gently among the fields of green; The Wicklow hills in the distance and Mount Leinster to the fore: It’s no wonder that my heart did break on leaving sweet Rossmore. When young I worked in Rossmore mine, I worked there every day With a pick and shovel colliering the coal, that’s how I earned my pay. The work was hard and conditions bad, and my bones were oft times sore But I’ll never forget the friends I made while working in Rossmore. Then things go bad and the mines closed down, they said there was no coal, With nothing left for the miners but to sign upon the dole; So I packed my bags to emigrate like many’s the man before And I said goodbye to Carlow town and the Green Hills of Rossmore. Now I’m over here for many’s the year in this great English town, But the place that I would like to be is high over Carlow town; And if ever I return again to stand on my father’s floor I’ll never more be parted from the Green Hills of Rossmore. And if ever I return again to stand on my father’s floor I’ll never more be parted from the Green Hills of Rossmore.
