- (continued from previous page)gaspipes, and Irish reels
And we danced to the music of the wind that through the barley steals
The pipers played old tunes and new tunes so very fine
Then in came piper Heidseeh and handed them a glass of wine
The welted the floor till they could be hear for miles around
When Gallagher was in the air his feet were never on the ground
A finer set of dancers you never laid your eyes upon
For those who couldn't dance, at all were dancing with their slippers on
Some danced jigsteps doorsteps and Highland flings
Murphy took his knife out and tried to cut a pigeon's wing
When the dance was over Cassidy's told us
