Back to O! The Shamrock
O! THE SHAMROCK (O! an t-Seamrog). AKA and see "Allie Croker," "Through Erin's Isle." Irish, Air (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The air is the melody "Allie Croker" (attributed to uilleann piper Lawrence Grogan) to which Thomas Moore set his song "O! the Shamrock." Moore's lyric begins:
Through Erin's Isle,
To sport awhile,
As love and valor wander'd,
with wit, the sprite,
whose quiver bright
A thousand arrows squander'd;
where'er they pass,
A triple grass
Shoots up, with dew-drops streaming,
As softly green
As emerald seem
Through purest crystal gleaming.
O the shamrock, the green, immortal Shamrock!
Chosen leaf
of Bard and Chief,
Old Erin's native shamrock!
