My Wild Irish Rose Lyrics
If you’ll listen, I’ll sing you a sweet little song,
Of a flower that’s now drooped and dead,
Yet dearer to me, yes, than all of its mates,
Tho’ 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 flow’r that grows,
You may search ev’rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow’r 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 flow’r that grows,
You may search ev’rywhere,
But none can compare
With my wild Irish Rose.
My wild Irish Rose,
The dearest flow’r that grows,
And some day for my sake,
She may let me take
The bloom from my wild Irish Rose.
The lyrics and music to My Wild Irish Rose were written by Chauncey Olcott
for his production of A Romance of Athlone.
The music was published in 1899

Irish Humor – Phelan and his Daughter’s Date
Michael Hoolihan was courting Frances Phelan. The young couple sat in the parlor of the girl’s house night after night, much to the annoyance of old man Phelan. One night he couldn’t take any more. Standing at the top of the stairs, he yelled down, “What’s that young fella doin’ here all hours of the night?”
“Why, Dad, ” said Frances, “Michael was just telling me everything that’s in his heart!”
“Well, next time, ” roared Phelan, “just let him tell you what’s in his head, and it won’t take half as long!”

Fields Of Shamrocks ~ Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Ahh Saint Patrick’s Day.
You may or may not believe in Leprechauns,
fields of shamrocks,
that pots of gold are hidden at the ends of rainbows,
or that wearing green is lucky.
But you should believe that there is no shortage of Irish spirit for St. Patty’s Day
~ the liquid Spirit that is!
St. Patrick’s Day brings sloshing mugs of green beer,
great music and parties that last into the wee hours of the morning.
The festivities only come around once a year and are not to be missed.
But be careful that you don’t over indulge!
One of the reason’s St. Patrick’s Day is so popular is that
it takes place just a few days before the first day of spring.
Therefore making it the first green of spring.

St. Patrick’s Day Verses, Poems, Toasts and Blessings
***
Irish Sayings
Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter.
Lullabies, dreams and love ever after.
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes…
That’s the Irish for You!
Irish Toasts
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.
As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.
A friend’s eye is a good mirror.
May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
He who loses money, loses much; He who loses a friend, loses more; He who loses faith, loses all.
May the Lord keep you in His hand and never close His fist too tight.
May your neighbors respect you, trouble neglect you, the angels protect you, and heaven accept you.
May the sound of happy music, and the lilt of Irish laughter, fill your heart with gladness, that stays forever after.
May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty. And our ale never turn musty.
St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time — a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.
“Maybe it’s bred in the bone, but the sound of pipes is a little bit of heaven to some of us.” ~ Nancy O’Keefe
“There is no language like the Irish for soothing and quieting.” ~ John Millington Synge
When Irish eyes are smiling
- When Irish eyes are smiling
- Sure it’s like a morning spring.
- In the lilt of Irish laughter,

- When Irish hearts are happy,
- All the world seems bright and gay.

- Sure, they steal your heart away.

With one extra year to repent.
**

- and until we meet again,
- May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
- **

- May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
- **
May you have: A world of wishes at your command. God and his angels close to hand. Friends and family their love to impart, and Irish blessings deep in your heart!
May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night,and the road downhill all the way to your door.
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, and may good luck pursue you each morning and night.
May your blessings outnumber the Shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
- Honest work to occupy you.
- A hearty appetite to sustain you.
- A good woman to love you.
- And a wink from the God above.
- **
May you live a long life, full of gladness and health. With a pocket full of gold, as the least of your wealth.
May the dreams you hold dearest, be those which come true. The kindness you spread, keep returning to you.
May the friendships you make, be those which endure; and all of your grey clouds, be small ones for sure.
And trusting in Him, to Whom we all pray; May a song fill your heart, every step of the way.
Ode to the Shamrock
- There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
- ‘Twas St. Patrick himself, sure, that sets it;
- And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
- And with dew from his eye often wet it.
- It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland,
- And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.

Fun Beer Facts for St. Patrick’s Day
Where did the expression
“wet your whistle”
come from?
About 4000 years ago, it was the accepted practice in Babylonia that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer, and because their calender was lunar based, this period was called the “honey month” or what we know to day as the “Honey Moon”.
**
Before invention of the thermometer, brewers used to check the temperature by dipping their thumb, to find whether appropriate for adding Yeast. Too hot, the yeast would die. This is where we get the phrase ” The Rule of the Thumb”
**
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender used to yell at them to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down. From where we get “mind your own P’s and Q’s”.
**
After consuming a vibrant brew called Aul or Ale, the Vikings would go fearlessly to the battlefield, without their armour, or even their shirts. The “Berserk” means “bear shirt” in norse, and eventually to the meaning of wild battles.
**
Way down in 1740, the Admiral Veron of the British fleet decided to water down the navy’s rum, which naturally, the sailors weren’t pleased with. They nicknamed the Admiral Old Grog, after the still stiff grogram coats he used to wear. The term grog soon began to mean the watered down drink itself. When you are drunk on this grog, you are “groggy”, a word still in use.
Just a little GROGGY!
Long ago in England, pub frequenters
had a whistle baked into the rim of
their beer mugs or ceremic/glass cups.
The whistle was used to order services.
Thus we get the phrase,
“wet your whistle”.
