214.0. "Madra Rua" by TALLIS::DARCY (Killarney, Kilmaley, Kilgarvan, and Gort) Fri Jun 12 1987 15:00
    Does anyone know the complete words in Irish to the chorus of the
    song the "Little Red Fox".  I have a bad recording and all I can
    make out is the following:
    
    Madra-in rua - rua - rua - rua - rua    ! Little red dog red red...
    Madra-in rua, ta an granna.		    ! Little red dog is horrid
    
    Madra-in rua, ???			    ! Little red dog, ???
    ???, ?? marbe'			    ! ???, ?? dead
    
    The question marks represent the 3 phrases I'm missing or
    can't understand.  Anyone ever heard this song?

|  |     I believe it may go like this; I had to heark back to 
    "Infants" school in Cork for the memory:
    An madrin rua in a luighe sa luachair
    Agus barr a dha cluas in airde.
    
    The little red fox lying in the rushes
    With the tips of his two ears erect.
    
    That's the way I remember it, anyway.
