Hills of Connemara - The Dawn: The Celtic Camerata - On The Threshold of a Drink

Chorus
Gather up the pots and the old tin can
the mash, the corn, the barley and the bran
run like the devil from the excise man
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney

Now keep your eyes well peeled today
The excise men, they're on their way
They're searching for the mountain tay
In the hills of Connemara

Chorus

A gallon for the butcher and a quart for Tom
And a bottle for the poor old Father John
To help his hymns and his prayers along
In the hills of Connemara

Now swing to the left, now swing to the right
the excise man will dance all night
He's drinkin 'up the tea 'til the broad daylight
In the hills of Connemara

Chorus

Now, stand your ground boys it's too late
The excise men, they're at the gate
Glory be to God, 'cause they're drinkin' it straight
In the hills of Connemara

Chorus
