"Kentucky Sons of Ireland” and “Appalachia Irish Dance” take the listener back to bluegrass’s early beginnings, each an effusive, upbeat and evocative example of spirited sentiment applied to the traditional tapestry of the British Isles. The use of penny whistle underscores the authenticity."

Kentucky Sons of Ireland (words and music by Marty Falle)

Oh Gather round me brothers
Welcome One and all
Kentucky Sons of Ireland
Welcome One and all
I may not remember all the pithy things you said
But may you be in heaven for the devil knows you’re dead

I knew a girl named Molly
And I knew a girl named Pat
And I knew a girl named Bridget
But I don’t’ where there at
I left these girls in Ireland with the gift of Irish cheer.
So they will not be mad at me and let me drink my beer.

Kentucky Sons of Ireland
We crossed the Ocean Long
We grow tobacco in these fields
And fight the Civil War
We left our homes in Eire for the promised land
America the Beautiful. Kentucky Sons of Ireland.

Tu Ra Lu Ra Lu RAH Tu Ra Luh Ra LAY
Here’s to good old Ireland and pissin off the pain
Here’s to Kentucky bourbon smooth and amber clear;
In heaven, there’s no whiskey; that’s why we drink it here

Oh Gather round me brothers
Welcome One and all
Kentucky sons of Ireland
Welcome One and all
We left our homes in Eire for the promised land
America the Beautiful. Kentucky Sons of Ireland
