Song: Blarney Stone (traditional celtic tune)
Ocarina: Warmstone in C by Mountain Ocarinas
Ukulele: Kala KA-T

So I feel like I need to explain this song a bit, lol. The story in the lyrics is about a guy who's looking for the mythical blarney stone (see link below) and crosses paths with a girl. Traditionally, when you reach the blarney stone, you're supposed to kiss it for good luck. When he asks the girl about it's location, she teases him saying that her lips are blarney stones and in that sense, there are blarney stones in every town. Let it be known that I do not condone kissing random strangers. You can get syphilis that way. Seriously. It happened to a friend of mine!

Lyrics:

It was in the town of Bandon one fine morning last July,
I met an Irish cailin, she winked as she went by.
Says I: 'I came from Galway and I'm lonesome and alone,
And won't you kindly tell me where I'll find the Blarney Stone?'

Chorus
Says she: 'There's Blarney Stones in Kerry, there's Blarney Stones in Clare,
There's Blarney Stones in Dublin, oh, they're plenty in Kildare.
There's Blarney Stones in Wicklow, there's a big one in Athlone.
Yerra, the devil a town in Ireland but you'll find a Blarney Stone".'

Says she: 'I know you come from Galway, I can tell that by your brogue.
I never met a Galway man but was an awful rogue!
But as long as you're a stranger where the River Shannon flows,
The only Blarney Stone I know is underneath my nose.'

Chorus

Her Irish smile did broaden, she winked a roguish eye.
My heart did start to jump and, oh, I thought I'd surely die.
I rolled her in my arrums and she never made a moan
When I kissed the bloomin' roses from the Bandon Blarney Stone.
