She is as fair As a pale winter moon Hair as black As the night She is the lass that I choose to love And I will with All my might Siobhan Siobhan Siobhan Mmmmm My love is waiting In the glen My passion My heart's desire Spending the night Sharing delights In the warm glow Of the fire Siobhan Siobhan Siobhan Mmmmm From the moors To the mountaintop To the lands far Far away She is the lass that Goes with me She's in my mind's eye Everyday Siobhan Siobhan Siobhan Mmmmm

On the highest peaks of Carrauntoohil In the County Kerry There exists this legend Of a winsome mountain fairy You march alongside the Hag’s Glen Dare to climb the Devil’s Ladder By the day’s end aim for the sunset This is the way you go to find her She is the summer sun that shines She is the breeze that whispers She is the cool autumn rain And the snows of winter And should you venture up the mountain And somehow cannot find your way You can call out her true name And she will keep you safe A spirit of peace and rapture Is the lovely mountain fairy So if you ever get a chance You come to County Kerry

Ah there it is Morrison's Jig A fine Irish tune But as we listen to the pennywhistle I can tell you a tale of another man named Morrison He came over to Quebec from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland Ended up in the East In the Haut Saint Francois Where many of his people went Donald Morrison was a cowboy He was good with horses, russling cattle, and good at shooting He was able to afford a plot of land and build a home And eventually Could afford to bring the rest of his family over from Lewis But in dealing with an unscrupulous moneylender Resulted in Morrison losing his home He was furious Confronting the new "owners" They claimed he burnt down a barn And for this he came a wanted man An American bounty hunter thought he could capture Donald and turn him in And in an epic shootout in downtown Megantic Lucius Warren met his maker And so, Donald's flight began Megantic, Stornoway, Nantes, Scotstown, Milan, Bury, Gould He moved between these places for not 1, not 2 but 10 months, and All the while the law was hot on his trail And Donald was able to evade them, In the greatest manhunt in Canadian history...

Morrisons are gone awa' To the Haut Saint François Their son Donald is in the west Riding shooting Doing what he does best Came back with money In his hand He built a farm On his new bought land But the rich man came And the rich man play And took the Morrison farm away CHORUS Run through the bushes Hide in the ditches Another midnight flight I've been running all night Over hill Through the glen To Stornoway And back again Over hill Through the glen To Scotstown, Bury And back again A bounty hunter in Main street Megantic Warren Spots Morrison People are getting frantic Pulls back the trench coat He's got a gun Donald draws first And the battle is won Bang bang two shots fired His eyes wide open expression dire As the yank goes down Donald looks around And he knows that the law is coming to town CHORUS Run through the ditches Hide in the bushes Breakfast with Wee Mairi Police are following me Tea and scones With MacIvers at five Supper in the attic at MacPhersons Move through darkness to stay alive Morrisons are gone awa' To the Haut Saint François Their son Donald is in the west Riding shooting Doing what he does best Came back with money In his hand He built a farm On his new bought land But the law man came And the law man say We're going to have to lock Morrison away

about

This is the second full album by Progressive Rock Trio Dun Aenghus.

"An Scéalaí~The Storyteller" is another wondrous journey into Celtic Lands. In it you will visit many a folk and hear many a tale, and be entranced by the words of the storyteller, the songs of the bard and the rapture of the piper's primal sounds.

Dun Aenghus are proud to be back, just 8 months after their first release, and are happy to share this fantastic collection of music with you. This process started in late May 2014, and after dealing with many of our own personal musical pursuits, our "virtual studio" opened in September 2014, at which point the creative juices really started to flow.

Important to know, the album has THIRTEEN (13) tracks, of which you can hear TWELVE (12) on SoundCloud. You can sneak a listen at our bonus track via iTunes. Thanks for listening!

"An Scéalaí ~ fortelleren" er en annen forunderlig reise inn i de keltiske land. I denne reisen vil du besøke mange «et folk» og høre mange «en fortelling». Reisen av fortelleren går gjennom magiske steder i Skottland og Irland samt kaste lys på historier som har opphav i viking tiden og Norge. Det nye verden er ikke glemt av fortelleren ettersom jakten på det gode liv forsetter i Canada.
Jeg vil takke band kollegaene Jeff McCarthy og Martin Neuhold for demmes bidrag i denne reisen. ---- Guy
