At The Céili Celtic Woman

Tonight we're going to meet some lads
As girls who dressed up gaily
And we'll be dancing till the dawn
We're going to the Céili

The lads they come from miles around
From Venice and ???
To show us all their fancy steps
We're going to the Céili

They're playing tunes on everything
From pipes to ukulele
It sounds so good you can't sit down
We're dancing At The Céili

All the boys we love so well
So handsome, young and charming
They're in New York and Boston now
They should be home here farming
My own true love has sailed away
To be an endless rover
Cause times are tough and he must leave
To start a new life over

He writes me letters every week
To say how much he's slavin'
And he promises that he'll be back
Before the hay needs savin'
But it's hard to love somebody
That you're not in touch with daily
So I'm looking for somebody new
Tonight down At The Céili
