[00:00:00] Are Ye Right There Michael? - John Roche

[00:00:00] Written by： Percy French

[00:00:06] You may talk of Columbus's sailing

[00:00:09] Across the Atlantical Sea

[00:00:11] But he never tried to go railing

[00:00:13] From Ennis as far as Kilkee

[00:00:16] You run for the train in the morning

[00:00:18] The excursion train starting at eight

[00:00:20] You're there when the clock gives the warnin'

[00:00:23] And there for an hour you'll wait

[00:00:26] And as you're waiting in the train

[00:00:29] You'll hear the guard sing this refrain

[00:00:35] Are ye right there Michael are ye right

[00:00:40] Do you think that we'll be there before the night

[00:00:44] Ye've been so long in startin'

[00:00:46] That ye couldn't say for certain

[00:00:48] Still ye might now Michael

[00:00:49] So ye might

[00:00:52] They find out where the engine's been hiding

[00:00:54] And it drags you to sweet Corofin

[00:00:56] Says the guard

[00:00:57] Back her down on the siding

[00:00:59] There's a goods from Kilrush coming in

[00:01:02] Perhaps it comes in two hours

[00:01:04] Perhaps it breaks down on the way

[00:01:06] If it does says the guard by the powers

[00:01:09] We're here for the rest of the day

[00:01:12] And while you sit and curse your luck

[00:01:15] The train backs down into a truck

[00:01:21] Are ye right there

[00:01:22] Michael are ye right

[00:01:25] Have ye got the parcel there for Mrs White

[00:01:29] Ye haven't oh begorra

[00:01:31] Say it's comin' down tomorra

[00:01:33] And well it might now Michael

[00:01:35] So it might

[00:01:37] At Lahinch the sea shines like a jewel

[00:01:40] With joy you are ready to shout

[00:01:42] When the stoker cries out

[00:01:43] There's no fuel

[00:01:44] And the fire's tee-totally out

[00:01:47] But hand up that bit of a log there

[00:01:49] I'll soon have ye out of the fix

[00:01:51] There's fine clamp of turf in the bog there

[00:01:53] And the rest go a-gatherin' sticks

[00:01:56] And while you're breakin' bits of trees

[00:02:00] You hear some wise remarks like these

[00:02:06] Are ye right there Michael

[00:02:08] Are ye right

[00:02:10] Do ye think that you can get the fire to light

[00:02:14] Oh an hour you'll require

[00:02:15] For the turf it might be drier

[00:02:17] Well it might now Michael

[00:02:19] So it might

[00:02:22] Kilkee

[00:02:23] Oh you never get near it

[00:02:25] You're in luck if the train brings you back

[00:02:27] For the permanent way is so queer

[00:02:29] It spends most of its time off the track

[00:02:32] Uphill the old engine is climbin'

[00:02:35] While the passengers push with a will

[00:02:37] You're in luck when you reach Ennistymon

[00:02:40] For all the way home is downhill

[00:02:45] And as you're wobblin' through the dark

[00:02:48] you hear the guard make this remark

[00:02:55] Are you right there Michael are ye right

[00:02:59] Do you think that we'll be home before it's light

[00:03:03] Tis all dependin' whether

[00:03:05] The old engine holds together

[00:03:07] And it might now Michael so it might
