The Fairy Reel

 

The Fairy Reel
(John Watt)

Last night i dreamed that I went strollin down the fairy glen

I dreamed I saw the little folk in Ireland once again

I watched them have a ceili around the fairy tree

a hundred thousand welcomes the fairies gave to me.

Chorus:

Come and see the fairies round the fairy tree

it is the finest spectacle that eyes could ever see

you'll see them dance so merrily, they bounce from toe to heel

come and see the fairies, dance the fairy reel.


They wore shoes of golden leather, cloaks of emerald green

upon their little heads they wore are a scarlet red cobeen

they wore rings of sparkling diamonds, bangles oh so grand

what a wealth of treasure they must have in fairy land.


The king was dancing with the queen, the princess with the prince

and all the other fairies joined in an Irish dance

the music played so sweetly as the moonlit shone

they danced and played together this bunch of leprechauns


When I awoke I lay and thought of all that I had seen

and all those little leprechauns dancing in my dreams

thats why ths Irish people sing and dance and joke

they take a good example from the little fairy folk.

(repeat chorus)

Fairy Reel"" written and recorded by John Watt, Ireland's
Singing Farmer, about 20 years ago.
