Run Juan Tammy's Woman!

lyrics

( I hesitate to translate the traditional words collected by Moore from Mrs Ferrier of Castletown and rationalised by Colin Jerry, set here as the second verse. The central theme seems to be that various women are being exhorted to run from some sort of trouble, from which I have extrapolated my own story, imagining some troublesome Vikings)

Ve er ny mraane roie ersooyl cragherderyn er nyn ghooyl
Ve er ny mraane roie ersooyl, ersooyl gys y Niar!
(The women had to run, invaders on their heels The women had to run, away to the East)

Roie ben Juan Tammy!
Roie ben jeh’n eirey!
Roie mraane phoosee,
aeg as shenn

Ny reddyn birragh
cha row ny waddle
drim a doo doddle
re spittag beg
