Bring My Flowers Now.
Bring my flowers now, while I’m livin’, I won’t need your love when I’m gone. Don’t spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body, If your heart is in them flowers, bring ’em on.
Chorus Bring my flowers now, while I’m livin’, I won’t need your love when I’m gone. Don’t spend time, tears, or money on my old breathless body, If your heart is in them flowers, bring ’em on.
All the miles cast a long shadow, I’d take a couple back if I could. I’d’ve learned to play guitar, Told my daddy more I loved him, And I believe, for the most part, I done good. There’s always sunrise and rainbows and babies, And the little things I cherish on my way. Even though one day, They’ll bury me and Jesse Ray, I just know we’re gonna ride again someday.
Repeat Chorus The days are long, but the years are lightning, They’re bright and they will never strike again. I wish I’d been a better friend, a better daughter to my mother, There’s no goin’ back when your back’s against the wind. So if you got love, then you’re sittin’ on a gold mine, And you can’t take it with you when you go. So don’t wait to help your sister, Forgive your brother and your neighbour, We all think we got the time until we don’t.
Repeat Chorus If your heart is in them flowers, ah bring ’em on.
A double entendre is a figure of speech that is open to two interpretations; a way of wording a double meaning; one of which is obvious and the other which conveys a message that could be regarded as socially unacceptable or indeed, to some people, as being offensive, were it to be stated directly.
The late great British actor and comedian Kenneth Williams (1926-1988) must surely have been the best exponent of this art, through his many radio broadcasts (Round the Horne), and films (the “Carry On” series), which still today give us all much laughter.
The Ballad of the Woggler’s Moulie.
Vocals: British actor and comedian the late Kenneth Williams(1926-1988)
The Ballad of the Woggler’s Moulie.
Joe he was a young cordwangler, Monging greebles he did go, And he loved a bogler’s daughter, By the name of Chiswick Flo. Vain she was and like a grusset, Though her ganderparts were fine, But she sneered at his cordwangle, As it hung upon the line.
So he stole a woggler’s moulie, For to make a wedding ring, But the Bow Street Runners caught him, And the Judge said you will swing. Oh they hung him by the postern, Nailed his moulie to the fence, For to warn all young cordwanglers, That it was a grave offence.
There’s a moral to this story, Though your cordwangle be poor, Keep your hands off others moulies, For it is against the law.
Lyrics and Vocals: The late, great American singer and songwriter Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. known professionally as John Denver, (December1943 – October 1997).
Follow Me.
It’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done, To be so in love with you and so alone. Follow me where I go, what I do, and who I know, Make it part of you to be a part of me. Follow me up and down, All the way and all around, Take my hand and say you’ll follow me. Long been on my mind, You know it’s been a long, long time, I’ve tried to find the way that I can make you understand, The way I feel about you, And just how much I need you, To be there where I can talk to you, When there’s no one else around. Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know, Make it part of you to be a part of me. Follow me up and down, All the way and all around, Take my hand and say you’ll follow me. You see I’d like to share my life with you, And show you things I’ve seen, Places that I’m going to, Places where I’ve been. To have you there beside me, To never be alone, And all the time that you’re with me, We will be at home. Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know, Make it part of you to be a part of me. Follow me up and down, All the way, Take my hand and I will follow you.

She’s Bitchin Again.
[Chorus]
There she goes, bitching again, Saying things she’s heard from all her friends, And it don’t matter what I do or where the hell I’ve been. There she goes, bitching again.
I could make a million dollars, I could put it in her purse, Buy her a big ol’ mansion and things would just get worse. I could lasso her the moon and throw it in with all her stuff, And she’d want to know where Neptune was, Cause the moon ain’t good enough.
[Repeat Chorus]
I could’ve painted the Sistine Chapel. I could’ve won a nobel prize. Built the Great Wall there in China, And that’d be nothing in her eyes. I could’ve wrote the whole dang Bible and read it to her twice, And she’d want to know why the yard, ain’t mowed, And the fridge don’t make no ice.
There she goes and she’s bitching again, Saying things she’s heard from all her friends, And it don’t matter what I do or where the hell I’ve been. Oh, here she comes and there she goes, bitching again. And she’s bitching again. END
The 34th Brú Ború Summer Season will commence on Wednesday next, July 10th, and will continue until late August on each Wednesday and Thursday night, starting at 8:30pm. This much-acclaimed show of Irish traditional entertainment has over the years attracted thousands of fans from all over Ireland and many tourists from abroad.
The show is a creative, fast-moving and innovative mixture of world-class talent from various parts of Ireland.
The originator and producer Úna Ó Murchú, a native of County Clare, says: “The talent now available through the work of Comhaltas at home and abroad provides a rich reservoir from which to select the Brú Ború team. The show has evolved through vision and experience over the years and the performers are a credit to Ireland”.
These include ace-accordionist Bobby Gardiner, latter who taught a Clare set to King Charles and Queen Camilla when they both visited Brú Ború as Prince and Princess.
Harpist Mary Kelly played for the Queen of England when she visited the Rock of Cashel and also in Leinster House for the 100th anniversary of Seanad Éireann.
Tadhg Maher is a well-known traditional singer who has performed worldwide. He is remembered for his farewell ballad at the burial of Vol. Paddy Maher, one of the “Forgotten Ten”, when his remains were brought back from Mountjoy Jail to his native place of Ballylanders.
The music ensemble is a fine blend of veteran and young performers where harp, uilleann pipes, fiddles, accordion, melodeon, mouthorgan, bodhráns, concertinas and flutes – in the hands of the maestros – combine to produce the unique Brú Ború sound.
The dancers, with their exciting routines, have won the hearts of all who experienced their performance at different locations.
The Brú Ború performing group have, during their 34 year history, brought the cultural traditions of Ireland to many parts of the world. They represented Ireland at five World Expos, performed on the Great Wall of China and accompanied President Mary McAleese to perform for the Sultan of Oman. When they performed on the Late Late Show Gay Byrne described them as ‘the best in the business’.
There are special rates for groups and pre-show dinner can also be booked in advance. Contact Tel.No. 062 61122 or info@bruboru.ie.
