To facilitate social distancing, a smaller ensemble was used to produce this music video in October 2020. This video was produced under strict safety protocols from University College Dublin's Safety Office. All those not in front of the camera wore masks at all times, with social distancing and regular temperature checks in operation throughout the production. About 'Courting is a Pleasure': Found masquerading under a variety of names throughout the Irish tradition, such as ‘Farewell Ballymoney’, and ‘Going to Mass Last Sunday’, 'Courting is a Pleasure' is a song of false love, betrayal, and emigration. Typically sung from the male perspective about a false young woman named Molly, here we have altered it to a female, singing about her dear love Jonny. In this traditional Irish song the girl sings a tale of an unhappy courtship after being slighted by her sweetheart Jonny, she warns people to be wary of men with a roving eye. The protagonist of the song curses the man in question and leaves Ireland for America bidding farewell to her sweet Ballymoney and Antrim. While the author remains unknown, the song itself is well-traveled and can be found amongst broadside ballads in the North of America. LYRICS : Courting is a pleasure Between my love and I And it's down in yonder valley I would meet him by and by. It’s down in yonder valley he is my heart's delight: “and it’s with you lovely Jonny I would spend till broad daylight." Going to mass last Sunday, My love, he passed me by. I knew his mind was altered By the roving of his eye. I knew his mind was altered To a lass of high degree: “Oh Jonny, lovely Jonny Your looks have wounded me." I then took out a bottle And I held it in my hand. Saying “Here’s a glass dear Jonny For our courtship is at an end. So raise your glass dear Jonny, Drink the bottle dry for me For there are 10 guineas wagered that married we’ll ner be”. Oh never court a wee lad With a dark and a roving-eye Just kiss him and embrace him, never tell him the reason why Just kiss him and embrace him Till you cause his heart to yield For a faint-hearted soldier never gained a battlefield Oh farewell Ballymoney And to county Antrim too. Likewise farewell dear Jonny, I will bid you a fond adieu. America lies far away Across the ocean blue. And I’m bound for there dear Jonny And again I’ll ner see you. So raise your glass dear Jonny Drink the bottle dry for me And I’m bound for there dear Jonny And again I’ll ner see you.
