Cliar Cu Buidhe Calling-On
© 2008 Lisa Gaskell
Oh, gentle spectators we pray you attend
If you may have even a moment to spend
Some blithe recreation is what we intend
For we are the Cliar Cu Buidhe.
We’ve noble old ballads and sprightly wee ayres
Our instrumentation is without compare
Our beautiful dancers will make you all stare
Oh, we are the Cliar Cu Buidhe.
Oh, there is no fee for these pastimes so fine
Though we never say no to good ale or fine wine
Or a pro-isso-ry spelled as you see on our sign
To the C-L-I-A-R Cu Buidhe.
We’ve tales of adventure and the travails of war
We’ve stories of love that will make your heart sore
We’ve mummers and jugglers and puppets and more!
Oh, come hear the Cliar Cu Buidhe!
Oh, gentle spectators our greetings we send
To our entertainment we pray you attend
You may come as a stranger, but you’ll leave as a friend
Oh, this we do tell you truly
For we are the Cliar Cu Buidhe.
