A group of young musicians including the Walsh sisters from Crimtin East, used to assemble in Clonbur, in Joyce Country, almost every second Friday night, Pearse christened them the Joyce Country ceili Band, hence the song.
Were the Joyce country ceili band
Playing away and were doing grand
Were singing a song wont you give us a hand
cos were the Joyce country ceili band
Friday night , off we go
Tune the fiddle , strain the bow
Take it handy for the first few sets
Sure theres hardly anyone listening yet
Thomas and Mary out on the floor
Well they never lost it, thats for sure
in his sparking shoes and his daz-white shirt
Shes got a brand new perm
And a pleated skirt
We do dos and functions
Weddings and wakes
Meats and salads, buns and cakes
Well if you need a few tunes just
give us a call
For the house the pub or the parish hall
Theres a princess on the floor all night
She can fairly throw them shapes alright
Howya Bridie are you on you own?
Howreya fixed far a seat back home
