RORY THE BLACKSMITH FROM IRELAND. Irish, Air (6/8 time, "with spirit"). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song is from the pen of collector P.W. Joyce, set to an old air ("which I have selected for its fine swing...") he learned as a youth in Limerick, mid-19th century.
Now who is this sturdy young blacksmith I see,
With his hamm'ring and forging and singing in glee?
"O, I come from a land striving hard to be free,"
Says Rory the Blacksmith from Ireland.
"I come from old Erin of ancient renown,
A land under England, her laws and her crown,
A land where the people are wrong'd and kept down";
Says Rory the Blacksmith from Ireland.
"And here in Chicago I work day by day,
And at night, when I'm thinking, I earnestly pray
That good luck may attend on that land far away":
Says Rory the Blacksmith from Ireland
etc.
