about

A popular comic song among the Irish (Gaelic) speaking community, this version features verses in both English and Irish about an encounter with an angry goat, and vain attempts to tame it.

lyrics

Ar mo dhul dom siar chun Droichead Uí Mhórdhal
As I set out for old Dromore
Píce im dhóid is mé ag dul i meitheal
Pick in hand to work in a gang there
Cé chasfail orm i gcumar ceoidh
Who should I meet but a mean old goat
Ach pocán crón is é ar buile
charging through the mist in anger

Curfá: Chorus (after each verse):
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile
Aillilliú, puilliliú, ailliliú, tá an poc ar buile

Do ritheamar trasna trí ruilleogach
He chased me o'er a rocky course
Is do ghluais an comhrac ar fud na muinge
And through the bog there was no stoppin'
Is treascairt dá bhfuair se sna turtóga
'Til he caught his horns in a clump of gorse
Chuas ina aoinneaoin ar a dhroim le fuinneamh
And I leapt on his back despite his buckin'
Chorus...

Bhí garda mór i mBaile an Róistigh
In Rochestown the guards in force
Is bhailigh fórsaí chun sinn a chlipeadh
Led by the sergeant tried to catch us
Do bhuail sé rop dá adhairc sa tóin air
It butted him straight in the arse
Is dá bhristi nua do dhein se giobail
Til his new trousers were in tatters
Chorus...

The Out of Kilters Tucson, Arizona

Formed in 2009, we have played everything from the main stages at Tucson’s St Patrick’s Day and Celtic festivals to charity and other events across Arizona and New Mexico. We have three CDs under our belts, Down the Rocky Road, Get Yer Irish Up, and Hot Potatoes.

Though we feature some raucous tunes about drinking and fighting, we are really a bunch of happily sober pacifists! ... more
