Artist/Band: The Dubliners
Lyrics for Song: The Glendalough Saint [Live At The Gate Theatre, Dublin 4/26/1966]
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Dubliners



As sung on the following album: Best of the Dubliners,

Vol 2.



In Glendalough lived an old saint

Renowned for learning and piety

His manners was curious and quint

And he looked upon girl with disparity



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy



He was fond of readin' a book

When he could get one to his wishes

He was fond of castin' his hook

In among the ould fishes



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy



But one evenin' he landed a trout

He landed a fine big trout, Sir

When young Kathleen from over the way

Came to see what the ould monk was about, Sir



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy





"Well get out o' me way" said the saint

For I am a man of great piety

And me good manners I wouldn't taint

Not be mixing with female society



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy



Oh but Kitty she wouldn't give in

And when he got home to his rockery

He found she was seated therein

A-polishin' up his ould crockery



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy



Well he gave the poor creature a shake

And I wish that the Garda had caught him!

For he threw her right into the lake

And, be Jaysus, she sank to the bottom



fol di dol fol di fol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy

Fol di dol rol di dol day

Fol di dol rol di dol ad dy
