Wedding of Donald and Morag
Author unknown.
There were many noble people,
There were ordinary folk from Scotland,
The school master and the minister,
The warrior McAuley was there.
Chorus:
Donal, Donal, 'twas Donal who made the wedding.
'twas Donal and Morag made the wedding famous.
There were hens and geese there,
There were more than a dozen sea birds,
There all of it was, and the favorite food there
Was the hens of the birds that they preferred.
Chorus
There were salmon and trout from the Erne,
And an abundance of game and wild birds.
The prime beef and veal were the tastiest.
There was roast lamb and venison there.
Chorus
The drinks were generous and plentiful,
There was Spanish brandy and wine.
There was homemade poteen and honey mead.
There was beer and ale from Ireland there.
Chorus
