About This Book

This collection of some 500 Irish related songs by many authors known and unknown including a high proportion of the output of Thomas Moore. The book also includes sheet music for some items but must be mainly considered as a book of lyrics.

Note that many pages have more than one song per page and to reduce the number of links in this index titles have been concatenated as needed to link to individual pages.

I also have to apologise for the odd errors and weirdnesses you will find in this text, which are due to the inherent problems of scanning and OCRing old books. I hope you will not find them too distracting.

These online books rely heavily on browser interpretation of the code for appearance. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 do not do a very good job on some pages. It is recommended to use Firefox (free download from the link below) which is a better browser for this site.
