If we add sheet music for your song by St. Patrick’s Day, you’ll win a twenty-five dollar gift certificate to our online store! You can use the gift certificate to purchase anything you need including: Irish sheet music, Guitar Guru Sessions, movie sheet music and much, much more!

Our Suggest an Irish Song Contest starts today and will run through midnight on Sunday, February 28th.

We’d like to present you with a few contest rules for our Suggest an Irish Song Contest. They are:

    1. Where to Recommend Your Song: You must post your song suggestion with a title, composer and/or performer (if it’s a traditional piece, just say “traditional”) as a comment on this blog post with a valid email address.

The valid email address will only be used to notify you if you won a gift certificate, and is not publicly displayed when you comment on our blog.

Irish Sheet Music for Your Songs

Thank you for taking the time to enter song suggestions into our contest. We really appreciate all your entries and have many to go through. Many of you pointed out that a folk song can have several names, and we did see quite a few variations of song titles in your requests. For example, An Irish Lullaby is also known as Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral.

A few of these songs, like Only If… by Enya, may not be visible in your country. While we do everything we can to ensure that songs are available worldwide, sometimes we can’t due to copyright restrictions.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a song suggestion for our contest. Any entries received after February 28, 2010 will be disqualified. Stay tuned for new Irish music!

    please consider Raglan Road –it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful Irish balleds –words originally from a poem (Patrick kavanagh I think is author ) and one of my dads favourite songs . If you include it please do so for piano as well as guitar –I can sing it but am learning piano and would love to be able to play it for my mum next time I go home to Belfast as she knows my father loved it -the other beautiful song would be Lagan love –great switch to a minor key and that was their anniversary song Thanks -great idea

    Paidir na Trionóide – a beautiful piece by Liam Lawton I think!

  27. Eadaoin Delaney

    Feb 20, 2010

    “There Is an Isle” a song which I think could very well be suitable as the National Anthem. It’s very moving. It is sung by a beautiful soprano, Suzanne Murphy and the line where she sings ‘because it is my native land, and my home, my home is there” , would send shivers down your spine. The lyrics of the song are a Scottish poem, which was put to music in 1924 by Limerick schoolteacher Anna Maria Lynch. If you do not do anything else today, you should source this and have a listen.

  28. Aine

    The Irish Rover is a rousing Irish song which you always hear on Paddys Day.

    I also think the main Riverdance theme is a contemporary tune which identifies a new Ireland.

    Feb 20, 2010

    (dont know the composer of this one – only the lyrics)

    If your irish come into the parlour
    there’s a welcome here for you
    if your name is Timothy or Pat
    as long as you come from ireland
    there’s a welcome on the mat
    if you come from the mountains of mourne
    or killarney’s lakes of blue
    ???????????????????????
    ??????????????????????
    if your irish this is the place for you

    dont know anymore!

    You don’t have “A Touch of the Irish” from “Meet Me in St. Louis.” While not a traditional Irish song, it certainly gives a feel of Irish music.

  37. Jill Jeffery

    Feb 20, 2010

    Please consider “Wild Mountain Thyme”, a traditional song found in an old Judy Collins songbook. It starts off a capella, then adds background of piano or guitar.

    Lyric—”For the summer time is coming and the birds are sweetly singing, and the wild mountain thyme blooms around the purple heather. Shall we go, laddy, go?, And we’ll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme all around the purple heather. Shall we go, laddy, go?”.

    My Wild Irish Rose

    This Irish song, popular with brides to be in Irish Traditional Weddings, was written by Chancellor “Chauncey” Olcott, a song writer and American stage actor

    If you listen I’ll sing you a sweet little song
    Of a flower that’s now droped and dead,
    Yet dearer to me, yes than all of its mates,
    Though each holds aloft its proud head.
    Twas given to me by a girl that I know,
    Since we’ve met, faith I’ve known no repose.
    She is dearer by far than the world’s brightest star,
    And I call her my wild Irish Rose.

    My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows.
    You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose.
    My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows,
    And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

    They may sing of their roses, which by other names,
    Would smell just as sweetly, they say.
    But I know that my Rose would never consent
    To have that sweet name taken away.
    Her glances are shy when e’er I pass by
    The bower where my true love grows,
    And my one wish has been that some day I may win
    The heart of my wild Irish Rose.

    My wild Irish Rose, the sweetest flower that grows.
    You may search everywhere, but none can compare with my wild Irish Rose.
    My wild Irish Rose, the dearest flower that grows,
    And some day for my sake, she may let me take the bloom from my wild Irish Rose.

    Feb 20, 2010

    Traditional, “Patrick McGinty’s Goat”. I remember one stanza,” Nora McCarty, the knot was going to tie, washed out all her falter, and hung them out to dry, along came the goat, and saw the bits of white, and chewed up all her falter there upon her wedding night. Now, all the ladies, who live in Killaloo, all wear a bustle like their mothers used to do, they each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat, and leave the rest to providence, and Patrick McGinty’s goat.”

    I’ll Walk Beside You

    Philip Coulter’s – The Town I loved So Well
    is just a must have, beautiful song.

    Hope you get these on the site ..thanks M. Collins

    I nominate “Grace” by Frank and Sean O’Meara.
    This haunting song memorializes the execution of Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Jail.
    The first verse begins:
    “As we gather in the chapel of old Kilmainham Jail,”

    You don’t have sheet music for the Johnny Duhan song, The Voyage. Christy Moore performs the definitive version.

    It’s often requested for Weddings here as it’s all about life being a Voyage and love the boat which helps us navigate through the doldrums and the storms!

    I’ve worked out my own accompaniment, but I’d love to see what you’d come up with.

    I would love to have a digital of “It’s the Irish in Me”, performed by Ruby Murray in the 1950s and composed by Jay Gorney, father of actress/dancer Karen Gorney. While it appears you have copies of it in book form, it appears no digital exists. Since I’m married to an Irish man, it would be fun to have a copy! Not only is this song the title track on Ruby’s album of the same name, it appears it was in a movie called “Jimmy and Sally” in 1933, as welll! It’s VERY pretty!

  57. Justin Guignard

    Feb 20, 2010

    I would like to recommend “The Devil and The Bailiff McGlynn”. A very nice Irish Folk Song. It’s a Traditional. There is also “Kitty of Coleraine”.

    Feb 20, 2010

    I’d love to see music for Carolina Rua performed by Mary Black and available in sheet music from her, also recorded by Celtic Woman

    Another great song:

    At the Mid hour of night- this is a traditional piece but there’s also a setting by Benjamin Britten

    Si do Mhameoi- traditional (not available in a voice/piano setting that I’m aware of and reasonably simple to transcribe)

    Codail a linbh- traditional

    Silent O’Moyle- traditional, words by Thomas Moore

    I’d love an arrangement of My Lagan Love. It’s a traditional song, so no need to go to Celtic Woman. The same goes for Nil s’en la :)

    The Widow and the Devil- the artist i know who sings it is Empty Hats but I’ve heard others.

    An Mhaighdean Mhara – Traditional

    Performers of this song include Clannad, Altan, The Chieftains, Orla Fallon, Feet Of Flames (Anne Buckley, Haley Griffiths), Aoife Ní Fhearraigh, Eileen Loughnane, and I’m sure there are more.

    This song was featured in the 1994 film “The Secret Of Roan Inish” (sung by Eileen Loughnane).

    There’s a really fascinating folktale behind this song; here is one short version: “An mhaighdean mhara” means the sea maiden or mermaid, who marries a mere mortal. The husband, knowing his wife cannot return to the sea without a crown she wore as a mermaid, hides it but he is left lamenting her when one of their offspring discovers it and his wife returns to the open sea from whence she came.

    “on Raglin Road” ..written by Patrick Kavanagh in 1946 who suggested that it be sung to the melody of “The Dawning of the Day”. Most Famous rendition is by Luke kelly from the Dubliners… it’ll cut through ya.. a lot of history about it on the national TV website archives ..with the Luke Kelly version.. Also have an interview with the “young lady” who inspired it in 1944… It’d be an interesting one to transcribe ..seems basic on the page ..http://www.rte.ie/laweb/ll/ll_t03i.html

There is a room full of leprechauns that go crazy doing an Irish Jig when Darby Plays this song on the fiddle for them. It’s a great Irish song. Look it up on Youtube. Enjoy! Peace,

    To Phil Woodford

    Here’s your song.

    “If You’re Irish Come Into The Parlor”
    written by Shaun Glenville & Frank Miller (1920)

    Verse One
    In sweet Limerick Town, they say
    Lived a chap named Patrick John Molloy
    Once he sailed to U.S.A.
    His luck in foreign parts he thought he’d try

    Now he’s made his name, and is a wealthy man
    He put a bit away for a rainy day
    So, if you gaze upon the house of Patrick John
    You’ll find a notice that goes on to say

    Chorus
    If you’re Irish come into the parlour
    There’s a welcome there for you
    If your name is Timothy or Pat
    So long as you come from Ireland
    There’s a welcome on the mat
    If you come from the Mountains of Mourne
    Or Killarney’s lakes so blue
    We’ll sing you a song and we’ll make a fuss Whoever you are you are one of us
    If you’re Irish, this is the place for you!

    Verse 2
    Patrick loved the girl he wed
    But he could not stand his Ma-in-law
    Once with joy he turned quite red
    When she got into trouble thro’ her jaw

    Six police they had to take her to the Court
    She was informed a month she would have to do
    So Patrick quickly wrote
    Up to the Judge a note explaining
    “Sir, I’m much obliged to you!”

    Feb 20, 2010

    I don’t mind Enya being on here, but I don’t think being Irish-born or Irish-residing makes the music Irish. Whereas Cara Dillon sings very traditional songs, Enya–and I may be wrong, not that ‘up’ on here–is more world/spiritual or something, no?

    And I am unclear if we’re talking here, Monica, of tablature or the sheet music. OK, it says ‘sheet music,’ but if “The Rights of Man” is only in notes and not tab, can I put that request in? Didn’t think so.

    How about “Mary and the Soldier,” as for example done by Paul Brady & Andy Irvine?

    • Monica

      Hi Murray, for the contest you are correct about the notation. However, you can always request other arrangements through our Song Suggestion Tool. We always take your requests into account, especially when we’re reviewing songs to create Guitar Guru Sessions for.

    I am suggesting the song “The 12th of July (Lament for the Children).” It is sung by Cathie Ryan on the CD Holding Up Half the Sky. It is based on a 19th century poem by Irish cabinetmaker/poet John Frazier, and it was set to music by Sean Tyrrell. It is about Catholic and Protestant coming together to put aside differences and create a country:
    Let the orange lily be your badge, my patriot brother,
    It’s the everlasting green for me,
    And we for one another
    And we for one another.
    it is a beautiful and moving song, with vivid images of unity, to come together to build Ireland as a country.

    No new suggestions, I’m afraid. BUT: the perennial “Irish” song sung all around the world, and especially in the USA, is “Danny Boy” (Londonderry air, or as an irishman would put it, “Derry”). This is one of the first Emerald Isle songs many people think of. And although the wors are a love song, it is almost always sung by men (frequently rather slurringly and tearfully)
    HOWEVER: the words were written by an English barrister, F.E.Weatherley KC, who at that time hadn’t even been to Ireland or the USA. He wrote a lot of other songs in between court cases, including “Roses of Picardy” and “The Holy City”.
    But he is recorded as owning a green tie.

    “When I Was A Fair Maid” is a traditional Irish song sung by Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill on the album “Treasury of Irish Song.”

    When I was a fair maid about seventeen,
    I listed in the navy, for to serve the Queen.
    I listed in the navy, a sailor lad to stand.
    For to hear the cannons rattle and the music so grand,
    And the music so grand, and the music so grand,
    For to hear the cannons rattle and the music so grand.

    Well, the officer that listed me was a tall and handsome man.
    He said, “You’ll make a sailor, so come along, my man.”
    My waist being tall and slender, my fingers long and thin,
    Oh the very soon they learned me, I soon exceeded them,
    I soon exceeded them, I soon exceeded them,
    Oh the very soon they learned me, I soon exceeded them.

    Well, they sent me to bed and they sent me to bunk.
    To lie with a sailor, I never was afraid,
    But taking off my blue coat, it oft times made me smile
    For to think I was a sailor and a maiden all the while,
    And a maiden all the while, and a maiden all the while,
    For to think I was a sailor and a maiden all the while.

    Well, they sent me off to London for to guard the Tower,
    And I’m sure I might be there ’til my very dying hour,
    But a lady fell in love with me, I told her I was a maid.
    Oh, she went unto the captain and my secret she betrayed,
    My secret she betrayed, my secret she betrayed.
    Oh she went unto the captain and my secret she betrayed.

    Well, the captain, he came up to me and he asked if this was so.
    Oh I dare not, I dare not, I dare not say no.
    “It’s a pity we should lose you, such a sailor lad you made.
    It’s a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid,
    A handsome young maid, a handsome young maid.
    It’s a pity we should lose you, such a handsome young maid.”

    So it’s fare thee well, captain, you’ve been so kind to me,
    And likewise, my shipmates, I’m sorry to part with thee.
    But if ever the navy needs a lad, a sailor I’ll remain.
    I’ll put out my hat and feathers and I’ll run the rigging again,
    And I’ll run the rigging again, I’ll run the rigging again,
    I’ll put out my hat and feathers and I’ll run the rigging again.

    How about a traditional Irish pub song
    “Do you want your old lobby washed down?”

    Do You Want Your Old Lobby Washed Down
    Album: I Love Sing Along Irish Pub Favorites

    Traditional

    I’ve a nice little pub and a small bit of land
    And a place by the side of the sea
    And I care about no one because I believe
    That nobody cares about me
    My peace is destroyed and I’m fairly annoyed
    By a lassie who works in the town
    She sighs every day as she passes the way
    Do you want your old lobby washed down.

    Chorus:
    Do you want your old lobby washed down, sunshine
    Do you want your old lobby washed down,
    She sighs every day as she passes the way
    Do you want your old lobby washed down.

    The landlord came by for the rent yesterday
    I told him no money I had
    Besides ’twasn’t fair to ask me to pay
    The times are so awfully bad
    He felt discontent at not getting the rent
    And he shook his big head in a frown
    Says he, I’ll take half, but says I, with a laugh,
    Do you want your old lobby washed down.

    Chorus

    Now the boys look so bashful when they go out courting
    They seem to look so very shy
    As to kiss a young maid, they seem half afraid
    But they would if they could on the sly
    But me I do things in a different way
    I don’t give a nod or a frown
    When I goes to court, I say, here goes for sport
    Do you want your old lobby washed down.

    Chorus

    I can’t believe I missed this one:

    “Women of Ireland” or “Mná na h-Éireann” by Seán Ó Riada

    There is an arrangement for Flute in “James Galway- Phil Coulter Legends” that I would love to be able to download. I’d love a vocal version even more, but I’ll take what I can get.

    Harry’s Game would be another great addition to the library of downloads. It is printed in Celtic Woman’s Greatest Journey book and in the Galway book mentioned above.

  185. Shalanna Collins

    Feb 21, 2010

    I would say “Ode to Whiskey,” which I have for the Irish whistle/flute, is a traditional song/tune that you have never heard, but is definitely a traditional Irish fiddle or flute tune.

    I think here we are not talking about “tunes from Irish performers” but rather traditional Irish folk music made at home for the tin whistle or other “Homely” instruments used by the common people. I mean, like things sung in a tavern or at a gathering. I have made a MIDI of “Ode to Whiskey” as a song, because I don’t have recordings of it, only a dittoed sheet with the fingerings for the recorder or tin whistle/flute adn the lyrics.

    More well-known songs include:
    “Young Rogers the Miller” was recorded at least once by Burl Ives and by the early group Pete Seeger was in, The Weavers.

    “Barb’ry Allen” is a traditional heartbreaker. Try listening to the Dolly Parton cover version. You will break down crying.

    “The Highwayman” has been set to music different times.

    I suppose you already have had mail about “Long Black Veil” (traditional–Joan Baez is the definitive version, but The Chieftains have recorded it, and so have many people) and “Whiskey in the Jar” (Chieftains again) and “The Wild Rover/The Unicorn” (also The Chieftains.) Those are all traditional tunes/songs.

    “Drink to me only with thine eyes” and “Believe me if all those endearing young charms” were in my mom’s OLD (antique) lesson books for organ and piano! But they’re probably not available today!

    “The Sailor’s Hornpipe” is also an Irish traditional tune! The “irish Jig” deal of the leprechaun is related to the hornpipe as a tune.

    Feb 21, 2010

    You should add “The Glendalough Saint” (Traditional). It was recorded by the Dubliners and is very funny. I spent time in Glendalough and would love to perform this with my band but can’t quite remember it well enough to carry it off.

    I’d like to suggest two great old Irish songs:
    The first,…..a popular WW ll song, made famous by Dennis Day, “Rose O’Day”.
    The second,…..”Barney O’Flynn” from “Victor Herbert’s “Babes in Toyland”.
    P.S. There is one other, called “Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow”, (which was based on an old18th Century ballad by Thomas Moore’s, “It Was On A Sunday Morning ), but with New lyrics and arrangement by Roger Edens, and sung by Judy Garland in “Little Nellie Kelly”.
