THE CAUSEWAY
If ye head north-east from Derry-town..,
there lies the Antrim coast
'Tis one of many wonders..,
on which the Irish boast
It's name.. The Giants Causeway..,
and it truly is a sight
Here be a couple stories..,
you decide whats right
The first.. it stems from science..,
'tis what the lab coats say
Some sixty million years ago..,
before man had his day
Off the coast of Ireland..,
down beneath the sea
Erupted a volcano..,
that's how it came to be
Lava flowed.. some reached the shore..,
would expand.. and then contract
The shapes we see are science..,
THAR.. it is a fact
Now.. hear the Irish saga..,
the legend told by lore
'Twas but.. two thousand years ago..,
and NO.. not years before
The champion of Ireland lived..,
who's name be Finn McCool
A cailin.. yes old Finn's wife..,
both were an Irish jewel
And then there be this Scotsmen..,
who's name was simply Vern
Who built himself a causeway..,
to pillage.. plunder.. burn
When Vern had done his damage..,
he searched for our man Finn
See.. Vern was just a itchin'
for a rumble to begin
Old Finn he got to thinkin'..,
what's with this goofy Scot
Together with his cailin..,
they hatched a little plot
Well Finn he was a big man..,
two meters.. add ahalf
So he built himself a cradle..,
and a fine one he did craft
Then dressed-up like a sweet young babe..,
crawled in to test things out
Just then the door flew open..,
and Vern began to shout
The cailin raised her finger..,
HUSH.. don't wake the babe
Back out that door.. say not one word..,
in the distance you'd best fade
Now Vern he did some thinkin'..,
if his babe be seven feet
his daid must be a huge man..,
and I sure don't care to meet
He turned.. ran back to Scotland..,
then pulled the causeway up
What's left behind.. is what is seen..,
Not.. volcano's that erupt
So head north-east from Derry-town
you'll find the Antrim coast
You'll find a land.. a wonder..,
on which the Irish boast
