about

I first heard a recording of this song many years ago by the great Sean Tyrell. I was reminded of the song again, while touring in Germany in 2019, by Frank McLynn of the Munich Folk Club. We were chatting after my show there and Frank mentioned a recording of it by Liam Weldon, which he kindly sent to me after the tour. Listening to that recording inspired me to come up with this particular arrangement.

lyrics

01
One starry night as I lay dreaming
One starry night as I lay in my bed
I dreamed I heard carriage wheels creaking
And when I awoke love I’d found you’d fled

02
I searched the highways likewise the byways
I searched the boreens the camping places too
And I’ll enquire at every station
Have they tide or tidings my love of you

03
For its many’s the mile love with you I travelled
Oh many’s the hour love with you I spent
I dreamed you were my true love forever
Ah now I find love you were only lent

04
For I’m drunk today and I’m seldom sober
A constant rover from town to town
And when I’m dead and my story’s over
Oh Molly Bán a-stóirín come lay me down

05
Oh one starry night as I lay dreaming
One starry night as I lay in my bed
I dreamed I heard carriage wheels a-creaking
And when I awoke love I found you fled

06
I searched the highways likewise the byways
I searched the boreens the camping places too
And I’ll inquire at every station
Have they tide or tidings my love of you.
