Title A name given to the resource A Civil War Lament Author: Tom Williams, Taghmon Subject The topic of the resource The meadow grass has not been mown and the headland’s overgrown And from the woods of Gurteencrin the pheasant cock has lately flown. The soft red apples lie despoiled, on my mother’s orchard ground, And Autumn’s sun, its short day done, casts shadows all around. The old folk tend the pastures now for the young men have all gone To fight with grief for their belief, ‘twas a bitter feud and long; My brother, with his Thompson gun, faced me across the moor And against God’s will, I shot to kill, my sorrow will endure. The crossroads where the dancing feet sent echoes down the lane Are empty now, and many a brow is creased with grief and pain. Oh, who will cross the wide divide, and take my brother’s hand? Oh, who was with him when he died near Slaney’s shifting sand? How can we heal the broken rifts that separate us now, For friend fought friend until the end, can we smile again, and how Can hate and fear of yesteryear diminish in our minds? Oh, the Civil War was a cruel war to break the ties that bind. But the ash tree lives, and its seedlings give a hope to boy and man, And the GAA once more held sway in the fields where the hurlers ran; And the verdant spring a hope did bring, and the fields were tilled again, And the carefree sounds from the sporting grounds came echoing down the lane.

Barron Singers: Carlow Storytellers Description An account of the resource Location: County Carlow CHORUS Óro, Ár gcultúr gleoite, (our beautiful culture) Óro, our culture’s growing, Óro, ár gcultúr beomhar, (our living culture) Alive and beo in Carlow. (well) They tried to take our culture from us, Tried to force their culture on us; But our fathers placed a geasa on us: (obligation) To save our ancient ways. CHORUS They told us that we had to change, To leave our past on a previous page; But we’ll save our ways for the coming age: We’ll save our ancient ways. CHORUS The rambling house was the place to meet But in recent years its fate looked bleak; Some kept our old Way’s heart abeat And saved our ancient ways. CHORUS They thought we’d fade with modern fashions We love our culture with great passion; We’ll always care for our great tradition And we’ll save our ancient ways. CHORUS ________________________ The Celtic Irish oral tradition of music and song has faced many challenges to its survival, from Penal Laws to changing trends and fashions. At one time mocked and derided, it was always kept alive in the rambling houses and by people who loved their traditions. Now, the ancient culture is growing strong again, not only holding its own but growing in popularity. The song Óro, Sé Do Bheatha ‘Bhaile was about restoration of freedom and culture; it seems appropriate to match these words with the old melody. CURFÁ Óró ár gcultúr gleoite, Óró ár gcultúr spleodrach, Óró ár gcultúr beomhar, Beo faoi bhláth I gCatharlach. Ba mhian leo ár gcultúr a mhagadh, A gcultúr féin a bhrú orainn, Ach chuir ár sinsear geasa orainn: Ár sean oidhreacht a shábháil. CURFÁ Chuir siad brú orainn chun athrú, Sean stair ár dtír a thréigean, Ach tá ár stair I seilbh againn Do glúnta óga nua. CURFÁ Ba theach bothánaíocht áit cruinniú, Le déanaí bhí a ról ag laghdú Ach choimeád laochra an seancleachtadh Chun oidhreacht sean a chleachtadh.

Title A name given to the resource Carlow's Hallowed Grave Author: Martin Power Melody: The Caramagnole Subject The topic of the resource In Carlow town there is a grave That lies beyond the bridge at Graigue; It's the resting place of Carlow's sons That fell before the Saxon guns. CHORUS And hallowed ground this grave it be Where once there grew three mighty trees Planted there for remembrance sake For the sons that fell in ninety-eight. In Carlow town that fateful morn The men assembled at the dawn And marched as one through Carlow's streets To fight and set their country free. But their daring plan had been revealed And the foe, they had themselves concealed. And as the men marched bravely on The order rang, the trap was sprung. 'Twas the Cork militia began the slaughter Caused by Yellow Jim the traitor For he sold the lives of those brave men And the Judas coin his only gain. CHORUS And hallowed ground this grave it be Where once there grew three mighty trees Planted there for remembrance sake For sons that fell in ninety-eight. The yeomen set the town alight And murdered all who dare take flight, No quarter give the Croppy Boy We'll kill them all the Saxon cried. And when that terrible time had passed The dead collected and on carts were cast And brought across the bridge at Graigue And tossed into this lonely grave. Men and boys, six hundred all, In that dreadful time did fall. Their lives they gave for God and Land, Their resting place a pit of sand. CHORUS And hallowed ground this grave it be Where once there grew three mighty trees Planted there for remembrance sake For sons that fell in ninety-eight. Description An account of the resource The song remembers the massacre that took place inn Carlow town in 1798. It uses the melody of the Caramagnole, from the time of the French Revolution, and event that inspired the struggle for Republicanism in Ireland.

Barron Air: Sé Mo Laoch (Mo Ghiolla Mear) Sung by Mary Butler Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available From Carlow Streams Description An account of the resource Dado’s**** Song ( Amhran Daideo) Chorus Gasúin Óg* you melt my heart; Torthaí glúine imithe, thart**; Bring me joy and pride and hope; Síol na nglúine le teacht fós***. Cailín Óg, you light my life, Beaming through the fog of life, Piercing gloom with your coy smile, Charming my old heart with joy. Find a man who’s true to you; Together see life’s voyage through; Be aware of both your needs, May ‘Fulfill each other’ be your creed. Chorus Buachaill Óg, you are my pride, Strong in limb and swift in mind; You are the minder of our blood: Grow wise and brave, be kind, be good. Find a wife, respect her well, Avoid the loud and gaudy girls; Keep her safe, make her smile; Meet both your needs, all the while. Chorus May old age see you safe and sound With friends and family all around, Admiring all you have achieved, And your heart content with all your deeds Gasúin Og, you bring me hope That age is more than tattered coat; I will be more than old scarecrow: My ageing heart restores its glow. Chorus *Young Children **Fruits of generations gone, finished ***Seed of generations still to come **** Daideo, ‘Dado’ = Grandfather Subject The topic of the resource Theme: hero, love, family hopes. Se Mo Laoch is a song about heroes. Heroes give us joy and pride and hope: we celebrate with joy at their victories; we take pride in their deeds; we take hope from their potential to overcome adver-sity. Grandchildren also bring those gifts of joy, pride and hope to grandparents. Having experi-enced what’s important in life, grandparents wish fulfillment and contentment for their grandchildren. This happiness can be found through caring and fulfilling relationships, something all humans need and that grandparents wish for their grandchildren. It is fitting that the traditional air be given these new words about its original theme.

Title A name given to the resource Earl Grey's Girls Author: Martin Power Melody: The Homes of Donegal Subject The topic of the resource The sky was grey that morning o'er the town of Corofin For twenty orphan Irish girls a journey did begin: From the workhouse they were taken upon a horse-drawn car, The first leg of a journey to the port of Hobart. For some the journey was to change their lives for evermore And free them from the workhouse and the hardships they endured; But, alas for some of these a different story tell; For them this journey it became another living hell. They sailed away from Ireland upon that July morn And none would ever see again the place where they were born, On board the ship Calcutta with one hundred other souls Down south to Van Diemen's Land that's where their story goes. The journey started with a gift of a strong box made of wood With their name engraved upon the lid to store their earthly goods, Each girl was given six new shifts, two petticoats and two gowns, Two pairs of shoes and stockings, and a lock to keep them sound. The voyage there took four long months through storms and heavy swells, The girls were sick and frightened but all arrived quite well; What lay ahead for these young girls was very carefully planned For Lord Grey had chosen these young girls to populate the land. They were taken to the workhouse when they landed at the pier But the locals did not want the girls, at the Irish they did sneer, They thought the girls inferior and the cause of much disdain And tried to force the authorities to send them back again. But the girls were there and there to stay and work was found for most, But for a few of these young girls, they would pay a terrible cost: They were married off to farmers and convicts at a price And they used the girls and abused the girls and sold them into vice. Now what became of these twenty girls the history books don't say But they tell us that four thousand girls were shipped abroad this way; They left behind no loved ones dear to ponder on their fate, Taken from their homeland to populate a state. This stain upon our history can not be left untold And their names must be recorded on a page of history's scroll For Ireland must remember these poor young orphan girls, Shipped out to foreign colonies on the orders of an earl. Description An account of the resource The song narrates the horrible story of one aspect of the heartless colonial system, where helpless orphans were abused and seen as breeding animals at the behest of the aristocracy.
