“Slainte Mhaith” lyrics and music Marc Gunn, November 9, 2014

Performed by Marc Gunn
From CD: Single

* Slainte mhaith. Slainte mhaith
Here's to your good health one and all
If you're soul feels rather thirsty
And you hear the craythur call
Then raise up your glass
Say, “Slainte mhaith”

Many times in my life
I forgot the kindness code
I reaped the sorry seeds that I sowed
But when I gave, instead of took
That's when my spirit growed
My charity turned into Christmas gold

Your work week was a bare
You're feeling rather low
You head down to the pub to watch a show
There the singer makes you smile
And the beer it makes you glow
So give some Christmas cheer before  you go.
