Hi Ciara,

Fáilte here. Thank you for your willingness to share
your songs with us. Do you have any of Sean Ban
McGrianna's songs in your repetoire. I only have a
very few of them written down somewhere and I
absolutely love them.

About an tseanbhean bhocht...Does it contain something
like

"An chuala sibh nó an bhfaca sibh mo sheanbhean
bhocht."

I didn't think it had to do anything with the French
though, but please do post. I might recognize
something.


Thanks ever so much

I have found 3 verses of An tSean-Bhean Bhocht in a
book
called "Songs of 1798 the year of the French".
It starts; Ta na Francaigh teacht thar saile

let me know if you want the rest posted.
