A Festival of Music, in the county down
  From all sides of the country the people come downtown
  They are drinking, they are dancing, they `re singing to the songs
  slipjigs and reels are in the air, the music `s all around
  
  And the girl cried "oh, hey Mama let me go!"
  with a voice of a crow the Lady said "No!
  I `ll never let you go to the valley down below!"
  And the girl said "Oh, I don`t wanna miss the show!"
  Oh let me go - hey Mama can`t you see
  I wanna go - downtown I want to be
  
  The guitars and the whistles, the bodhrans and the drums
  violins loudly screamin´ a groovy terrible sound
  They are drinking, the are dancing, they `re singing to the songs
  This funky bass in the air, the music` s all around
