Re: [Traditional Irish Singing] an seanbhean bhocht

If you mean the English language rebel song (Oh, the French are on the
sea, says the Sean Van Vocht,....), the lyrics can be found on this web
site:

http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=5220

There is a fine rendition of it on Frank Harte's recording, 1798, the
First Year of Liberty (available from Ossian USA, www.ossianusa.com)
