Fuígfidh mise’n baile seo (I will leave this place)
Ennis noted that Dinny got the song from his father.
In the song, a woman laments the fact that she is married to someone who won’t let her go to mass and won’t buy her a drink or have a drink with her at the ale-house. And he does not press her to his heart as a young man would.

Note to music transcription:
Ennis wrote, in Irish, the words ‘Lighthearted, lively’ above the music transcription.
