The Gathering words and music Corrigan Brothers 2012
Oh I hear the pipes are calling
For two thousand and thirteen
There’s going to be a gathering
The likes you’ve never seen
From Cork and on to Derry
From Kerry to Tyrone
The great Irish Diaspora
Are on the journey home
Chorus
There’ll be Courtin’ in the kitchen
There’ll be whiskey in the Jar
Murphys back in Mallow
Molloys in Mullingar
Grogans back in Galway
And Ryans back in Ring
The Obamas back in Moneygall
For the Irish Gathering
There’ll be dancing there’ll be film
Exhibitions of great art
Storytelling and fine singing
That will lift the Irish heart
You’ll hear fiddlers and melodeons
From Kilkee on to Athlone
And the lilt of Irish laughter
Welcoming all home
Chourus
Oh the Kellys of Killarney
The Doyles of Dingle Town
The Brannigans the Flanagans
The Greens the Whites the Brownes
The Regans Ryans and Reillys
The Roches and the Rings
Are coming back to have the crack
At the Gathering
Oh they’ll dance the Siege of Ennis
The Walls of Limerick too
They’ll return from old Kilburn
Dubai and Katmandu
the Hogans and the Brogans
the Brennans and the Breens
will gather at the gathering
In two thousand and thirteen
chorus
the Lynns the Wynnes the Rynnes and Flynns
the McCarthys will be there
The Traceys and the Caseys
As well as the O’Hares
The Mooneys and the Cooneys
The Lawlors and the Lings
Will all be back to have the crack
At the Gathering
Chorus
There’ll be Courtin in the kitchen
They’re be whiskey in the Jar
Murphys back in Mallow
Molloys in Mullingar
Grogans back in Galway
And Ryans back in Ring
The Obamas back in Moneygall
For the Irish Gathering
