Here's another original song by Holly and Rob, lyrics by Rob, music and singing by Holly. Hope you like it :) I'm sorry I don't have an Irish Accent and I hope I've pronounced Claddagh properly - if not - really sorry. I hope you'll let me off though as I am of Irish descent on both sides of my family. I have never been to Ireland but am really excited as we should be going this summer. I hope to visit Galway and buy my very own Claddagh Ring :)Any ideas from lovely viewers about great places to visit would be brilliant :)Thankyou for watching - comments would be much appreciated. Hollyx

Lyrics...

Claddagh Ring

The men of Claddagh village were out upon the sea
Fishing for some food to feed their families
For there were many dangers on the fishing trip
But of these few the greatest, a Spanish pirate ship

The pirates did appear once on that fateful day
They captured all the men, and hurried them away
Along the distant shores from upon the rolling waves
And sold them to a goldsmith, to spend their lives as slaves

Young Richard was the saddest, for he had left behind
A girl that he loved dearly, so tender and so kind
For many years had passed and poor Richard felt the pain
A pain that he would never see, his one true love again

To keep his spirits up and to keep hope in his heart
Each day he stole a speck of gold and made into art
And with the tiny pieces, he made a golden ring
To give it to his love one day, to make her true heart sing

And then the day had finally come, when all the men were free
To start their trip to Ireland, upon the rolling sea
And Richard's heart lept with joy, when finally he did learn
His love had stayed faithful, on wait of his return

For it was on that day, after so many years
After all the hardship, after all the tears
That Richard held his loved one and made her true heart sing
He gave to her his work of love, the beautiful Claddagh Ring
The beautiful Claddagh Ring
The beautiful Claddagh Ring
