Face Her For Mount Leinster


Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh

Aon, Do, Tri, Ceathair, get them feet and start to cater.
One, Two, Three, Four, keep them dancing on the floor.

Chorus

Oh face her for the mountain and face her for the hill.
When you face her for Mount Leinster, she’ll keep on dancing still.
Oh face her for the valley and face her for the glenn.
When you face her for Mount Leinster, she’ll start to dance again.

She is a lovely girl and she has a lovely sister,
I tell you were they live, they live up on Mount Leinster.
She’s a great girl with a hurley and a great girl with a slither,
She may be small and burley but be gore there is no fitter.

Chorus

Aon, Do, Tri, Ceathair,

She plays the auld camogie with the local team,
Who shall, we shall, Myshall, yall hear the fans all scream.
I brought her to the disco and I brought her to the pub,
Then I brought her to the chippers because she likes her grub.

Chorus

Aon, Do, Tri, Ceathair, get them feet and start to cater.
One, Two, Three, Four, keep them dancing on the floor.

Oh face her for the mountain and face her for the hill.
When you face her for Mount Leinster, she’ll keep on dancing still.
Oh face her for the valley and face her for the glenn.
When you face her for Mount Leinster ,she’ll start to dance again.
Oh face her for for the mountain and face her for the hill.
When you face her for Mount Leinster, she’ll keep on dancing still.
Oh face her for the valley and face her for the glenn.
When you face her for Mount Leinster, she’ll start to dance again.

 

About the Song,….. ”Face Her For Mount Leinster.”’

Around my part of the country, you would never ask a girl, out to dance.
You would say to her, ‘’Can I Face You For Mount Leinster? If she said yes.
Then we would knock sparks. out of the floor, especially, If she was a good step dancer.

Is’ent that Right Johnny?
“That’s right, that’s the truth”
Stay Wut Her Lad An Face Her For Mount Leinster
