Christy Moore Continental Ceilí Lyrics

Over in McCanns there's a grand type of dance band a playing
and they're spinning out the continental ceili,
They're coming in their cars from the bars over in Leitir and Killane
just to hear the famous Gunter Reynolds playing
F
out the Star of Munster with Hans O'Donoghue
C
neatly tappin out a tango on the spoons,
such commotion will act like a lotion on the struttin at the
G7 C
Continental Ceili tonight.

G
Ciaran closes his eyes pretends he's in disguise

F C
when he sees an old flame comin' over
G
He's playin for the Swedes in their tweeds doin all he can to please
F Am
the nights in such a delicate stage
G
Later on he'll give an audience to one of them or two
F C
he'll sing the Dyin' Swan to touch their feelings
D G7
tonig ht's his night and tomorrow night will be just the same
