Christy Moore - St. Brendan's Voyage (Live from album On the Road)
Christy Moore sings St. Brendan's Voyage from his new album On the Road
Lyrics:
A boat sailed out of Brandon in the year of 501
’twas a damp and dirty mornin’ Brendan’s voyage it began.
Tired of thinnin’ turnips and cuttin’ curley kale
When he got back from the creamery he hoisted up the sail.
He ploughed a lonely furrow to the north, south, east and west
Of all the navigators, St. Brendan was the best.
When he ran out of candles he was forced to make a stop,
He tied up in Long Island and put America on the map.
Did you know that Honolulu was found by a Kerryman,
Who went on to find Australia then China and Japan.
When he was touchin’ 70, he began to miss the crack,
Turnin’ to his albatross he sez “I’m headin’ back”.
To make it fast he bent the mast and built up mighty steam.
Around Terra del Fuego and up the warm Gulf Stream,
He crossed the last horizon, Mt. Brandon came in sight
And when he cleared the customs into Dingle for the night.
When he got the Cordon Bleu he went to douse the drought,
He headed west to Kruger’s* to murder pints of stout
Around by Ballyferriter and up the Conor Pass
He freewheeled into Brandon, the saint was home at last.
The entire population came (281) the place was chock-a-block
Love nor money wouldn’t get your nose inside the shop.
The fishermen hauled up their nets, the farmers left their hay,
Kerry people know that saints don’t turn up every day.
Everythin’ was goin’ great ’til Brendan did announce
His reason for returnin’ was to try and set up house.
The girls were flabbergasted at St. Bredan’s neck
To seek a wife so late in life and him a total wreck.
Worn down by rejection that pierced his humble pride,
“Begod”, sez Brendan “If I run I’ll surely catch the tide”
Turnin’ on his sandals he made straight for the docks
And haulin’ up his anchor he cast off from the rocks.
As he sailed past Inishvickallaun there stood the albatross
“I knew you’d never stick it out, ’tis great to see you boss”
“I’m bailin’ out” sez Brendan, “I badly need a break
A fortnight is about as much as any aul saint could take.”
CHORUS
“Is it right or left for Gibraltar”
“What tack do I take for Mizen Head?”
“I’d love to settle down near Ventry Harbour”,
St. Brendan to his albatross he said.

Cill Maolchéadair Church
This is by far the most important ecclesiastical site on the Dingle Peninsula. The church is dedicated to St Maolceadair who died in 616. The twelfth-century nave-and-chancel church is built in the Romanesque style. Near the chancel arch is a cross-decorated stone with the old Irish alphabet carved on one side, dating from the latter part of the 6th century. An Ogham stone, a sundial and other artefacts are also to be found on the site. A few hundred yards from the site is a holy well and an unusual dwelling known as Fothrach Bréanainn (St Brendan's or the Priest's House), which perhaps dates from the 16th or 17th century. (This property is not currently accessible.) Another holy well lies in the field across the road from the site.

BEFRIENDING COWS IN KILLARNEY, IRELAND
Killarney was one of my favorite shows of the Foreign Voices Travelers Tour. I got to share some very special moments with some very cool people. And cows. There were also cows. Thank you so much to The Black Sheep Hostel for hosting the show. And thank you to Journey Instruments my amazing travel guitar! This was the first show of the tour where I got to use my new guitar, which is just another reason that this show was so special!
The song I sang at the pub was my first single that I released when I was 17, called 'Louder.' You can listen to it here:
