Lyrics - Cruiskeen Lawn by Clancy Brothers

Cruiskeen
Lawn
Let the farmer praise his grounds, let the hunter praise his hounds,
And the shepherd his sweet scented lawn;

With my charmin' little cruiskeen lawn, lawn, lawn
Oh, my charmin little cruiskeen lawn.

Gra-machree a cool-in bawn, bawn, bawn,

Nor my smilin' little etc.
And when grim

To tell me that my glass has run,

For great
Bacchus gave me leave
To take another etc.
