As I was walking one evening fair, Is mé go déanach i mBaile Sheáin' by Donncha Rua Mac Conmara
Eugene sang this song in Boyle about 2 years ago. Various links have broken but here's a new one (2019) for Aodán Ó Ceallaigh singing 'As I was walking one evening fair, Is mé go déanach i mBaile Sheáin'
[St John’s, Newfoundland], a song by Donncha Rua Mac Conmara, (1715–1810).

Summer is coming, Oh, Summer is near. Plenty of seasonal songs to be polished up for May
Some songs to think about:
Autumn to May
(Paul Stookey & Peter Yarrow)
Oh, once I had a little dog, his colour it was brown,
I taught his how to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.

One morning, one morning, one morning in May
Oh soldier kind soldier will you marry me
Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be
I've a wife inLondon
Two wives and the army's too many for me
Oh no pretty maiden that never shall be
I've a wife in
Two wives and the army's too many for me
[from James Taylor]
May morning dew
How pleasant in winter to sit by the hob
Listening to the sounds and the bark of a dog
Or in summer to wander the wide valleys through
And to pick the wild flowers in the May morning dew
Listening to the sounds and the bark of a dog
Or in summer to wander the wide valleys through
And to pick the wild flowers in the May morning dew
Barbara Allen
Twas in
the merry month of May
When
green buds all were swelling
Sweet
William on his death bed lay
For
love of Barbara Allen.
Not forgetting, the Rocky
Road to Dublin , Sliabh Gallion Braes,
One morning in May, I carelessly did stray, The cuckoo and more.
