Lyrics To Irish Songs

I thought it might be handy to have a list of good places to look for song lyrics in Irish, and translations. If we get a good collection, we might make this thread a link on the left.
The easiest way to find a translation for the lyrics of a song is to Google for several of the words in the song. Longer words usually work best for this, and spelling is very important. But the sites below also have good collections of the most popular songs in Irish.

anyone have the irish version of the following song Black is the Colour…
Black is the color of my true love’s hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
She has the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands.
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground whereon she goes.
And I wish the day, it soon will come
That she and I will be as one
I’ll go to the Clyde and I’ll mourn and weep
Where satisfied I never shall be
I’ll write her a letter, just a few short lines
And suffer death ten thousand times
