Alive ‘Live Oh’s

 

Scratch an Irish folk song on my fiddle

One about sweet, tragic Molly M.

Discovered how I couldn’t find

Fingers would not make

Nor memory recall

The alive ‘live oho’s

 

Where they were

I used to know

But where they’ve gone

I could not say

Just know that now, today

I lost the alive ’live oho’s

 

Went to play another day

Not a falter, not a qualm

Not a moment’s hesitate

Memory knows and fingers shape

Hear again my alive ‘live oho’s
