Ring of Fire Lyrics Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire ... I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher. And it burns, burns, burns the ring of fire, the ring of fire. The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet I fell for you like a child oh, but the fire went wild ... Ring of Fire lyrics from Lyrics on Demand.

Monday, March 17, 2008 - St. Patrick's Day Come away on St. Patrick's Day to a magical performance of "Kiss the Blarney Stone" at Brantford's beautifully restored vaudeville theatre, featuring Marie Gogo and Tom Leadbeater, celebrating Faeries, Leprechauns, Shamrocks and all things Celtic, telling of Irish tales, with spectacular Irish dancing with the North American Male Irish dancing champion and a lively Irish band that will have you dancing a jig in no time! Sing-along of favourites include Danny Boy, Gallway Bay, and I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen. Travel by coach and enjoy a delicious buffet luncheon at Kirby's Food Emporium located in the Best Western Brant Park Inn in Brantford before the show. Those who kiss the Blarney Stone on a battlement of the Castle of Blarney in Ireland's County Cork are said to be blessed with eloquence.
The following article by a friend in Alaska may be found at: Round the Square for Tuesday March 17, 2009. Bradford Era, Online Newspaper from McKean, Pennsylvania.
IT'S TODAY: A third-generation Irish-American who has kissed the Blarney Stone sent along the following Irish blessing to help us mark St. Patrick's Day: "May those who love us, love us And those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts; And if He doesn't turn their hearts May He turn their ankles So we'll know them by their limping." So... do you suppose we would all be limping if everyone prayed this blessing? The reader also notes that kissing the Blarney Stone is harder than you might think, involving climbing narrow stairs to the top of Blarney Castle, lying flat on your back and thrusting your head through an open hole in the floor to kiss the stone while holding onto an iron grate. An Irish person is there to help, for tips of course, and another snaps your photo to sell you as a memento.
Danny Boy - Sung by John McDermott Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountainside The summer’s gone and all the roses falling, 'Tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, ’Tis I’ll be there in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, we love you so. And when ye come and all the flowers are dying, And I am dead - as dead I well may be - Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an Ave there for me, And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, And ye shall bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me. Danny Boy lyrics from AskLyrics.com
