A BRENNAN BORN AND BRED

My darlin' is an Irish boy
A Brennan born and bred
His hair shines like spun copper
His cheeks glow apple red
His sweet smile so endearing
Ah! So lean and strong is he
Grande days we spend together
My bonny Irish boy and me

Our past binds us together
Like two vines grown entwined
Just where does my history leave off?
Were these friends his or mine?
Growing old next to your best friend
Is complicated enough
But when he's also your lover
Seas can get a little rough

Perhaps I was a Irish lass
In another life before
And my bonny Brennan left me
To seek fortune, fame and war
Did I weep tears at his leaving?
Celebrate his swift return?
To this day I love my bonny Lad
A Brennan bred and born

Who knows why Fate starcrossed our paths
In this forever way
All I know is someday dawn shall rise
Long last on our wedding day!
And when we say the words "I do"
Our vows both said and done
Handfast complete our Irish hearts
Will finally be as one

My darlin' Irish husband
For better or for worse
As his wife I shall beside him stand
Whether full or empty purse
We shall walk together always
Neither ahead or behind
Equal partners under Brehon Law
Peace and happiness we'll find
