lyrics
Willy Taylor and his youthful lover, full of mirth and loyalty,
They were going to the church to be married, he was pressed and sent on sea,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
She dressed herself up like a sailor, on her breast she wore a star,
Her beautiful fingers long and slender, she gave them all just a smear of tar.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
On this ship there being a skirmish, she being one amongst the rest,
A silver button flew off her jacket, there appeared her snow white breast.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
Said the captain to his fair maid, what misfortune has took you here,
I'm in search of my true lover, whom you pressed on the other year.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
If you're in search of your true lover, pray come tell to me his name,
Willy Taylor they do call him but Fitzgerald is his name.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,

Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
Let you get up tomorrow morning, early as the break of day,
There you'll find your Willy Taylor, walking along with his lady gay.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
She got up the very next morning, early as the break of day,
There she spied her Willy Taylor walking along with his lady gay.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
She drew out a brace of pistols that she had at her command,
There she shot her Willy Taylor with his bride at his right hand.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.
When the Captain came to hear it, of the deed that she had done,
He made her a ship's commander, over a vessel for the Isle of Man.
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dum dum,
Dally dilly dum dilly dum dum dey.

The Mary Wallopers are one of the finests bands from the actual Irish folk scene. Playing traditional tunes with great talent and a sophisticated sense of humor ;)
I hope to be able to see them live, on a stage or on a session as soon as possible ! mael_true_x
This album is stunning!! I love the vocals - Daoirí Farrell has such a fantastic voice. The bouzouki and touches of flute are so excellent. A really really fantastic Irish album! lynnaround
