Slainte Mhaith Christmas: MP3/WAV/Lyrics (Patreon)

This song has come a long way since I first wrote it in 2015. 

Right before Thanksgiving, it occurred to me that the lyrics could easily be adjusted to transform this into a Christmas song. And so I did just that.

The song features me on autoharp and vocals. Nathan Deese is on background instrumentation, whistle, and harmonies. 

The background shouts feature Lee Seitz, Kenzie Gunn, Inara Gunn, Nathan Deese, his kids, and me.

Slainte Mhaith Christmas

* Slainte mhaith. Slainte mhaith Here's to your good health one and allIf you're soul feels rather thirsty And you hear the craythur callRaise up your glass Sing Slainte mhaith

Many times in my life I forgot the kindness code I reaped the sorry seeds that I sowedBut when I gave, instead of tookThat's when my spirit growedMy charity turned into Christmas gold

Your holiday’s a bareYou’re feeling rather lowYou head down to the pub to watch a showThere the singer makes you smileAnd the music makes you glowGive some Christmas cheer before you go
