Love in Lisdoonvarna

Whistle
1

It’s time for the matchmaking season in Lisdoonvarna;

http://www.lisdoonvarnamatchmaker.com/

And my curiousity is wasting no time in wondering what tune would you play to attract a mate or love.

I don’t think it would be:
Ladies Pantalettes or
Grab Her Leg

What tune(s) would it be then?

Probably not I Buried My Wife and Danced On Her Grave, either. :wink:

Probably want to avoid “The Hag by the Fire.”

How about “Get up old woman and shake yourself”, “A fig for a kiss,” or Ahem “Behind the bush in the garden”?

4

a smart man might play “Banish Misfortune” :slight_smile:

You know what is even funnier about the tune: I Buried My Wife and Danced on Her Grave, is it is actually a good thing. Because if anyone knows even alittle of about the history of Ireland, than you know for along time it kind of sucked to live there (no offense ment to ppl. living in Ireland now). So what would happend is when a person died, people thought the dead person was going to a “better place” so it was a happy occaion, AKA wakes. So I hope that makes sense. Oh and back on topic, you probably wouldn’t want to play Merrily Kiss the Quaker’s Wife, either.

How about “(If I Had) Maggie in the Woods”?

If this matchmaking event was set up so that older gentlemen farmers could fine wives, then maybe

“Haste to the Wedding.”

8

Of course, more unscrupulous-minded fellows could play “The Hag with the Money” :slight_smile:

“Last Night’s Fun” might just whet
one’s appetite !
