The Great Gaels Lyrics

the great Gaels of Ireland

the race that God made mad

for all their wars are merry

and all their songs are sad

words remembered by John A. RocheRoches - The Great Gaels - http://motolyrics.com/roches/the-great-gaels-lyrics.html

from a poem by G.K. Chesterton

called "The Balled of the White Horse."

(thanks to Peter Fallon)

music derived from a traditional Irish fiddle tune
entitled "John Roche's Favorite"
