The following sites of four highly revered friends are particularly
dear to the heart of the author of this site:

October 2004: Unfortunately, the link to the Music Stop has been
out of function since before June 2002. A search for Terry's Music Stop via
Google currently yields several hits, none of which leads to the original Music Stop. Thus it
appears to be lost permanently.
For Siúil a rún, see the following version, put together by
Anne Buckley for inclusion in Lord of the Dance.
There are garbled versions of Siúil a rún on many, many Web sites, and indeed on CD covers as well.
(Certain deviations are of course, common in connection with Irish tunes.)
Siúil a rún
I wish I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Til every tear would turn a mill
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
Siúil, siúil, siúil a rún
Siúil go socair agus siúil go ciúin
Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom
Is go dté tú mo mhuirnín slán
The refrain means
Come, come, come my love
Come smoothly and quietly
Come to the door and escape with me
And may you go safely, my darling
