Only A Woman's Heart
I sometimes wonder what would have happened had I not met Declan Sinnott back in
1981. His knowledge and experience of music was invaluable to me then and remains
so through six solo albums and twelve most enjoyable years of performing.
During those years the band of musicians, most of which are with me still, have
played a n important part in the development of the music and have become real
friends to me.
Since the first solo album back in 1983 when we recorded Mick Hanly's "Crusader" we
have made a conscious effort to record original songs by Irish songwriters. There h a s
never been a shortage of good material to choose from and to the songwriters I a m
forever grateful.
This book contains a collection of some of the more popular songs from all of the albums.
Finally thanks for your support over the years and I hope you enjoy singing these songs
When I first started to play I bought sheet music of my favourite songs often to find that

they weren't accurate. It was very frustrating not to be sure you had the right chords.

In order to avoid this problem I have made sure these songs are in the right keys, have

the same chords as the records and have piano arrangements that catch the atmosphere

of the originals. I have also tried to keep it simple.

I'd like to thank Gerry McConnell for his painstaking work on the notation and also

Frank Gallagher for the proof reading.

Mary and I are very happy with this book and hope you like it.

Declan Sinnott.

2. Down came her father and he's standing by the door
Saying Jeannie you're trying the tricks of a whore
You care nothing for a man who cares so very much for thee
You must many Lord Sulton and leave Anachie.
For Anachie Gordon, he's barely but a man
Although he may be pretty but where are his lands?
Oh the Sultan's lands are broad and his towers they run high.
You must many Lord Sulton and leave Anachie.

3. With Anachie Gordon I'd beg for my bread,

And before I'll many Sulton it's gold to my head,
With gold to my head and gowns fringed to the knee.
And 1'11 die if I don't get me love Anachie.
And you that are my parents to Church you may me bring
But unto Lord Sulton I'll never bear a son.
To a son or a daughter, I'll never bow my knee
And 1'11 die if I don't get me love Anachie.

a 4. Jeannie was married and from church she was brought home
And when she and her maidens so merry should have been
When she and her maidens so merry should have been
She went into her chamber she cries all alone.

5. Come to bed now Jeannie me honey and my sweet

For to style you my mistress it would be so sweet

Be it mistress or Jeannie it's all the same to me

But in your bed Lord Sulton I never will lie.

6. The day Jeannie married was the day that Jeannie died
And the day that young Anachie came home on the tide
And down came her maidens all wringing of their hands
Saying oh it's been so long you've spent so long on the sands.

7. You that are her maidens go take me by the hand

And take me to the chamber that me love she lies in
And he's kissed her cold lips till his heart has turned to stone
And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in.

No one knows the promise you're keeping
You can't touch the emptiness out here
But the grace that mends this broken wing
The blue sky to regain
Will lift those feet and raise those eyes
To face the desert again
As the dawn reveals the journey's end
In truth it's only beginning
And it's as big as your eyes wish to see

Talking all the day with true friends

Who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news,
Singing songs to pass the night away
Stood on Dingle beach and cast
In wild foam we found Atlantic bass
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Lreland.
Drinking all the day in old pubs
Where fiddlers love to play
Someone touched the bow, he played a reel
It seemed so fine and gay
Watched the Galway salmon run
Like silver dancing darting in the sun
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland.
Dreaming in the night I saw a land
Where no man had to fight
Waking in your dawn
I saw you crying in the morning light
Lying where the falcons fly,
They twist and turn all in your e'er blue sky
Living on your western shore,
Saw summer sunsets asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic sea
And sang a song for Ireland.

of this war - wear - y horde - time- up there in the clouds .

I -
must b e hard to en - dure- when your heart's -
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love
Above the noise on the quay their voices rise
They must have something so strong in the face of such change
That they can promise and promise all night
Oh their undying love, hear their undying love
t

This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye.

It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave

I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal
I can't pretend it's all a dream
And what I'm seeing will disappear
But the end I can see is all too real
Knowing you're taking leave
Knowing you're taking leave

This is the last call for Ellis Island

These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye.
This is the last call for Ellis Island
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say
So goodbye babe, goodbye.

I deliver by the afternoon
'Cause the piper calls the tune
Today I made full use of the hours
I explored the smallest avenue
And that feeling still came through
Without the fanfare I love you.

4. Hello, do I still have you attention?

I forgot to mention thanks again from the captain and the crew
And so without the sweet perfume or roses
I hope you can still believe it's true
Stripped of all that much ado
Without the fanfare I love you (2)

Don't you remember now don't you recall
Just once in a very blue moon

Just once in a very blue moon
And I feel one coming on soon
Just once in a very blue moon.

Sends an elder back to look
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye Katie
Now I'm looking through a tunnel
Back into the room
With the genius of a druid when the sunlight floods the tomb
And I'm never going back there, and I couldn't anyway
'Cause though I made the great escape
I never got away
Come running home Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye
Come running home again, Katie
Come running home again
Cross my heart and hope to die
Shall I cause another tear from your eye Katie

Babes in the wood. Eager and keen

Soft as the fern underneath them
Wet to the skin from their own hot glow
No more wolf at the window

Touch can mean distance to some people

Touch can mean I own you forever and a day
If only life could be more simple
Especially in this day and age

They got the time, They got the need

The world's getting weird, The wolf's running free
But that's another story, This is their story

But touch can be a blessing to other people

Touch can bring blossom to things that decay
I think life should be that simple
Especially in this day and age

They got the time, They got the need

The world's getting weird. The wolf's running free
But that's another story. This is, This is their story

A -dam's at the win - dow

Adam's on the island

Living in the land of love
Shadows lurk around him
Drunk of the royal jelly of pure love
Full and ripe the fruit hang
For when the prince arrives he will want more
And more and more he'll drink from the canvas cup
The son of a swan will then lose his plumera
And he will wear a new age suit
And haunt the joints in town
And play a silver magic flute
And call his lovers down
And call his lovers down

And Adam will have his way

Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way

Adam's at the easel

Painting in the wrinkles and the grey
Waiting for November
Easy with the darkness of the day
Smiles a tear of gladness
And Adam's at the window once again
Burning in the sunlight

Too late to wait

For darkness won't delay
To steal her cherry lips away
For while the careless tongues of sunlight
Slowly trickle down
The curve of hips, her fingertips
In kissing sips we drown
In kissing sips we drown

Chorus:
And Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way
Adam will have his way

goes

Just how we fall it's hard to know

When what we feel we seldom show
So we show the parts we feel are best
We squirm around the edges trying to cover up the rest
And you think you know him and he thinks the same
When underneath it all it's just a crazy guessing game

Chorus

Win or lose it's just the same

Tears of joy tears of pain
They're hand in hand they come as one
You'll never see the moon without the promise of the sun
For all the bruises for all the blows
I'd rather feel the thorn than to never see the rose

As only a woman's, as only a woman's
