Biography:
Planxty was an Irish folk music band consisting of soon-to-be-legendary musicians Christy Moore (vocals, acoustic guitar, bodhrán), Dónal Lunny (bouzouki, guitars), Andy Irvine (mandolin, mandola, bouzouki, hurdy-gurdy, harmonica), and Liam O'Flynn (uilleann pipes, tin whistle). The band was formed in 1972, and quickly revolutionized and popularized Irish folk music, touring and recording to great acclaim. The band broke up twice; first in 1975 and again in 1983.

The farmer's daughter she came down

Nor yet within the byre

But he would in the corner lie

The jolly beggar lay

Kind sir, she says, be easy now

You'll waken our good man

Of beggars I be one

So now you're quite undone
