The Chieftains

The Chieftains is a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in November 1962, by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. The band had their first rehearsals at Moloney's house, with Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music and they are regarded as having helped popularise Irish music across the world. more »

My own love said to me 
"My mother won't mind. 
And my daughters won't slight you 
For your lack of kind". 

He went away from me 
And this he did say 
"It will not be long, Love, 
Till our wedding day" 

He went away from me 
And he moved through the fair 
And slowly I watched him 
Move here and move there 

He went his way homeward 
With one star awake 
As this swan in the evening 
Moves over the lake 

I dreamed last night 
That my own love came in 
He came in so sweetly 
His feet made no din 

He came close beside me 
And this he did say 
"It will not be long Love 
Till our wedding day" 

It will not be long love 
Long love 
Long love 
Love
