Components of a typical Irish song are ‘My Silver Haired Mother’ ‘A Bonny Colleen that stole my heart’ ‘Strong drink of one sort or another’ and inevitably ‘ The lousy rotten evil heathen bastard English’
Bonnie lass would never be used in an Irish song.
Correct.
Number 5 is just the “all of the above” option.
Should be feckin farries!
What songs about the fairies are popular? They were not a common topic of frivolity. Some allusions to them as threats in a few Irish language songs. This list looks like it was made by yanks
Don’t know any fairy songs?
Tbf, the songs about lovely women being lovely are usually allegories for Ireland.
Who would risk singing about the fairies? You’d be some eejit. Don’t be attracting their attention now.
