O'RILEY IS DEAD

 

The song gets faster and faster. As you repeat the the verse  try to keep up with the tempo. The melody is from "The Irish Washer Woman", an old dancing tune.

    O'Riley is dead and O'Reely don't know it.

    O'Reely is dead and O'Riley don't know it.

    They're both lyin' dead in the very same bed.

    Neither one of them knows that the other is dead.

    Thanks to Michael Rizzo and Tony Chevere

    In the future there will be a lesson on Irish drumming with this song.
