Welcome to Pub Songs & Stories, the virtual Public House for Celtic culture and change through music.
I am Marc Gunn. I play Sci F'Irish music. I want to take you on an adventure. I'll share the stories behind my songs as we explore pop culture media through the lens of Irish & Celtic music. You will have fun and sing along, and maybe get a far too real glimpse of yourself.

Won't You Come With Me?
words and music by Marc Gunn
I left my ship with storms on my mind,
High wind and tossing seas.
I sought a girl with soft green eyes
To take my mind off me.
Hai diddle-dai-dum
Ba du diddle-dai-dum
Ba du diddle-dai diddle-dai dee
Hai diddle-dai-dum
Ba du diddle-dai-dum
Won't you come with me?
I met a maid by waterside
Gutting the herring clean.
She took my hand, laid down her knife.
Then we walked along the beach.
Singing...
She set herself down on a rock
And bade me sit at her feet.
The sun settled down and the wind did blow
The curlets across her cheek.
We sang...
I took her gently in my arms
Our bodies rolling in the sand.
When I pulled the knife out of her side
Her body stopped lurching at last.
