Hello all, I've been broadening my horizons by listening to music from different countries. Currently taking in Irish Folk and there's one song in particular I've listened to recently, but I can't catch all the lyrics.
So if any of you know all the words to "The Ballad of Jack Larkin," I'd appreciate the help. And that's Jack Larkin, not the John Larkin one by Christy Moore, at least as far as I can tell he made that song. Though I did get a good laugh at Delirium Tremens.

Re: Way off topic, Irish song lyrics
Nearest translation I can get for that is "glad to help."
If you could clear up one line in the song for me, the lyrics written out read,
"Fallon and Jack Larkin waited at their home"
But I could swear when I listen to the song they're saying something else. Is that correct?

You're close, (lathair ar) meaning spot on (sasta cabhru) meaning glad to help, but anyway the song lyrics are correct, it could be the irish accent throwing it off a bit, I'm irish but there's still other irish people that I even find hard to understand lol
