The innocence of yours
Is running through out my head
Can't find a chance to catch my breath
A never ending dream
You'll become a part of me
Day or night
Dark or light you'll see
Your taking over that thing called my shadow
And what happens under stays the wind
And what's south of here is taking away my shame
Oh oh
And when I can't see at all
I turn to you
You tell me that you'll never let me fall
You hold my hand so tight
You give me all your love
At that moment I knew
You're the one I'm always thinking of
You're a never ending dream (A never ending dream)
You'll become a part of me
Day or night
Dark or light you'll see
You've taken over that thing called my shadow
You're running though out my head
Can't seem to quite know why
But here in my bed
I feel like I can fly
You're a never ending dream
You've become a part of me
Day or night
Or at dark or light you'll see
You've taken over that thing called my shadow

All Gods creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing high
Or some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
Now listen to base it's the one at the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the Hippopotamus
Moans and groans with the biggest tute
And the old cow just goes muu
The dogs and the cats they take out the middle
Where the honeybee hums and the cray take fiddle
The donkey prays and the poney neys
And the old grey pradget sighs
All Gods creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing high
Or some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
Listen to the duck with the little bird singing
And the man and bees on the high note swinging
And budd owl cry over everything
And the black bird disagree
Singing in the night time singing in the day
The little duck kwacks and is on his way
And the other hasn't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself
All Gods creatures got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing high
Or some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got
now.
It's a simple song a living song everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
The buggly alligator and the hawk above
The sly old dweezil and the turtle dog

One for my morning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who will stand his round
And four for the love of you, me girl
Four for the love of you
At the end of the day l like a little drink
To raise up my voice and sing
And an our or two with a fine brown brew
And I'm ready for anything
At the Cross Keys Inn there were sisters four
The landlords daughters there
And every night when they put out the light
I would tiptoe of the stairs, Singing
One for my morning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who will stand his round
And four for the love of you, me girl
Four for the love of you
Well l got the call from foreign shore's
To go and fight the foe
And I got no more of the sisters four
But still I was at to go
So I sailed away on a ship
The morning glory was her name
And we'd all fall down when the rom went round
Then we started up again, Singing
One for my morning glory
Two for the early dew
Three for the man who will stand his round
And four for the love of you, me girl
Four for the love of you
Well I'll go once more for my native shore
Farewell to the raging Sea
At the Cross Keys Inn it was puckered in
And my heart was filled with flea
But there on the shore were the sisters four
With a bundle upon each knee
There were three little girls and a bouncing boy
And they all looked just like me, Singing ...

It was Friday morn when we set sail
And we were not far from the land
When our captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
With a comb and a glass in her hand
And the ocean's waves do roll, And the stormy winds do
blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a well-spoken man was he
"This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea"
And the ocean's waves do roll, And the stormy winds do
blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
And up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
And a brave young lad was he
"I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea
And tonight she´ll be weeping over me"
And the ocean's waves do roll, And the stormy winds do
blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a crazy old butcher was he
"I care much more for my pots and my pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea"
And the ocean's waves do roll, And the stormy winds do
blow
And we poor sailors are skipping at the top
While the landlubbers lie down below (below, below)
While the landlubbers lie down below
And three times around spun our gallant ship
And three times around spun she
And three times around spun our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea

As down by Brooker's corner, one morning I did stray.
I met a fellow rebel there, and to me he did say.
We have orders from the Captain to assemble at Dunbar
But how are we to get there without a motor car.
Yes and how are we to get there without a motor car.
Oh Barney dear be of good cheer and I'll tell you what
we'll do.
The Specials they are plentiful and the I.R.A. are few,
We'll wire up to Stranlar, and before we get that far,
We'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's
Motor Car.
Yes we'll give the boys a bloody good ride in Johnson's
Motor Car.
When Doctor Johnson got the wire he soon put on his
shoes
He said this must be an urgent case, and there is not
time to lose,
He then put on his castor hat and on his breast a star,
You could hear the din going through Glen Fin of
Johnson's Motor Car.
You could hear the din going through Glen Fin of
Johnson's Motor Car.
But when he got to the Railway Bridge, the rebels he
saw there,
And Johnson knew that the game was up for at him they
did stare,
He says I have a permit to travel near and far,
You can stick your English permit, we want you motor
car.
You can stick your English permit, we want you motor
car.
What will my loyal brethren say when they hear the news
My car it has been commandeered by the rebels at
Dunluce,
We'll give you a receipt for it, all signed by Captain
Barr
And when Ireland gets her freedom, you'll get your
motorcar
Yes when Ireland gets her freedom, you'll get your
motorcar
Well we sat the car in motion and filled it to the brim
With guns and bayonets shining, which made ould
Johnston grim.
And Barney hoisted the Sinn Fein flag and it fluttered
like a star,
And we gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and Johnson's
motor car.
Yes we gave three cheers for the I.R.A. and Johnson's
motor car.
Now when the special heard the news, they soon put on
their shoes.
They've stolen Johnson's motorcar, but the rebels at
Dunluce
They search around the valleys, they search both near
and far
But the I.R.A where far away in Johnson's motor car.
Yes the I.R.A where far away in Johnson's motor car.
Yes the I.R.A where far away in Johnson's motor car.

I met Sarah on the 16-th of July when we were walking
In the green hills of Kilkenny
Together with the pints the hours they flow by us
And the hours that I've known her seems like ten
thousand years
I asked her if the time was right
She nodded her head and took me home
I ripped my shirt in seven parts, I throw my trousers
to the floor
My socks flew out the window, and I threw myself over
her
Her skirt I ripped in seven parts, Her bra flew out the
window
And of her panties I don't know, They where never ever
seen again
So take me away Red Maiden, away Red Maiden
Come sit on my rapier and ill take you for a ride
So take me away Red Maiden, away Red Maiden
She fled the bed and screamed her head.. Oh my God
you're mad!
I went out in my pyjamas to buy some new clothing
Set down in the pub sipping Scotch
When a beautiful red head sat down beside me
Suddenly I felt her hand caressing me old legs
She asked me if' the time was right
I nodded my head and she took me home
I ripped my shirt in seven parts, I threw my trousers
to the floor
My socks flew out the window, and I threw myself over
her
Her skirt I ripped in seven parts, Her bra flew out the
window
And of her panties I don't know, They where never ever
seen again
So take me away Red Maiden, away Red Maiden
Come sit on my rapier and ill take you for a ride
So take me away Red Maiden, away Red Maiden
She fled the bed and screamed her head.. Oh my God
you're mad!
I only thought she fled but she went to fetch her
handcuffs
And she looked at me with a smile
But when she got her whips I started to tremble
Looking desperately for the door
Jumped out of bed and started to run but I couldn't
find my underwear
the 16th of July that year will never be forgotten
the memory of a madman running naked through the city
streets

Make way for the Molly Maguires
They're drinkers, they're liars, but they're men
Make way for the Molly Maguires
You'll never see the likes of them again
Down the mines no sunlight shines
Those pits they're black as hell
In modest style they do their time
It's Paddy's prison cell
And they curse the day they travelled far
And drown their tears with a jar
Make way for the Molly Maguires
They're drinkers, they're liars, but they're men
Make way for the Molly Maguires
You'll never see the likes of them again
Backs will break and the muscles ache
Down there there's four times to three
Of fields afar of a womans arm
Just dig that bloody seam
Though they drain their bodies and their brow
Who dare to push them around.

While going the road to sweet Athy, Haroo, haroo
While going the road to sweet Athy, Haroo, haroo
While going the road to sweet Athy
A stick in my hand a tear in my eye, a doleful damsel I
heard cry
Johnny I hardly knew yeh.
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums the enemy nearly
slew you,
My darling dear you look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew
yeh
Where are the legs with which you run haroo, haroo
Where are the legs with which you run haroo, haroo
Where are the legs with which you run
When you went to shoulder a gun, indeed your dancing
days are gone
Johnny I hardly knew yeh!
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums the enemy nearly
slew you,
My darling dear you look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew
yeh
You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg haroo, haroo
You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg haroo, haroo
You haven't an arm and you haven't a leg you're an
eyeless, noseless, chickenless egg
You'll have to be put in a bowl to beg
Johnny I hardly knew yeh!
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums the enemy nearly
slew you,
My darling dear you look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew
yeh
I'm happy for to see you home haroo, haroo
I'm happy for to see you home haroo, haroo
I'm happy for to see you home
All from the island of Sullon, so low in the flesh so
high in the bone
Johnny I hardly knew yeh!
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums, Haroo, Haroo
With drums and guns and guns and drums the enemy nearly
slew you,
My darling dear you look so queer, Johnny I hardly knew
yeh
But sad as it is to see you so haroo, haroo,
But sad as it is to see you so haroo, haroo
But sad as it is to see you so
And think of you now as an object of woe, your Peggy'll
still keep you on as her beau;
Johnny I hardly knew yeh!

Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
In a neat little town they call Belfast
Apprenticed in trade I was bound
And a many an hour of sweet happiness
I spent in that neat little town
'til bad misfortune befell me
And caused me to stray from the land
Far away from my friends and relations,
To follow a black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Oh, I was out strolling on Broadway
Meaning not long for to stay,
When I met with a pretty fair maiden
Come troppsing along the highway.
A gold watch she stole from a gentleman
And put it right into my hand
Then the watch came and put me in prison
Bad luck to the black velvet band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
Next morning before judge and jury
For up trial I had to appear
And the judge he said: Young fellow
The case against you is quite clear"
And seven long years is your sentence
You're going to Van Dieman's land
Far away from your friends and relations
To follow that black velvet band
Her eyes they shone like diamonds
I thought her the queen of the land
And her hair it hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band
So come all ye jolly young fellows,
A warning take by me
That whenever you're out on the liquor,
Beware of them pretty colleens.
They'll fool you with whiskey and porter,
Until you're not able to stand
And the very next thing that you know, my lads,
You've landed in Van Dieman's land.

There's a nice wee lass and her name is Mary Mack
Make no mistake, she's the miss I'm goin' to take
There's a lot of other chaps who would get up on her
track
But I'm thinking they'll have to get up early
Mary Mack's faither's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My faither's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' tae marry Mary tae get married an' take
care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack
This wee lass she has a lot of brass
She has a lot of gas, her faither thinks I'm class
And I'd be a silly ass tae let the matter pass
For her faither thinks she suits me fairly
Mary Mack's faither's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My faither's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' tae marry Mary tae get married an' take
care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack
Noo Mary and her mither gang an awful lot togither
In fact you niver see the one, or the one without the
ither
And the fellow often wonder if its Mary or her mither
Or the both of them together that I'm courting
Mary Mack's faither's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My faither's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' tae marry Mary tae get married an' take
care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack
Noo the weddin day's on Wednesday and everything's
arranged
Her name will soon be changed tae mine, unless her mind
be changed
And we makin' the arrangements, faith, I'm just aboot
deranged
For marriage is an awful undertakin'
Mary Mack's faither's makin' Mary Mack marry me
My faither's makin' me marry Mary Mack
And I'm goin' tae marry Mary tae get married an' take
care of me
We´ll all be making merry when I marry Mary Mack
It's sure tae be a grand affair and grander than a fair
A coach and pair for rich and poor and every pair
that's there
We'll dine upon the finest fare, I'm sure tae get my
share
If I don't we'll all be very much mistaken

Joined up at the pub just to have one beer
When the landlady asked us to play a tune
And we played the tune that the landlady begged
After filling us up with some porter
For each song that we sung, she filled our glasses
For each son we sung, we got more drunk
And the people they cheered and filled us up
The night we tried to stay sober
The news of our music was spread around
So we went up North to play our songs
Singing songs about sailing and catching our fish
And they started to fill us with porter
For each song that we sung, she filled our glasses
For each son we sung, we got more drunk
And the people they cheered and filled us up
The night we tried to stay sober
Times was swell as we travelled about
Tried to refuse the whiskey and stout
Singing songs about drinking both whiskey and beer
And they started to fill us with porter
For each song that we sung, she filled our glasses
For each son we sung, we got more drunk
And the people they cheered and filled us up
The night we tried to stay sober
As all good young man holding their pride
Fighting for glory and keeping their vows
Singing songs about callgirls and strippers and whores
And we tried but we couldn't stay sober

Let me tell you a story about a man where I grew up
long time ago
They were a dozen brothers and sisters and worked with
bloody sweato
Six of them were very bright, they would make it
through the day
The other half were pitiful had to find another way
The other half were fools had to work hard with their
hands
And make their living in the woods, working' hard for
their bread
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God
I was only fifteen when I worked with him with axe and
saw
We had a big load of timber to carry home through the
snow
But the snow was to much and the horse got stuck it was
30 degrees below
Our man was one of the stronger sort so he managed to
save both horse and load
When we all were safe and sound, he stared and this is
what he told
"If the horse had died out there I'd have killed you
with my hands"
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God
The mailman in our town was a self-centred bastard
He was abusive to the women and he made fools of the
men
Complains were heard from door to door but nothing was
ever done
A revelation came to our man while doing his evening
prayer
To clear this world from evil and make the world less
grey
So he went to the mailman and cut his throat and wiped
the blood on his coat
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God
Twas'nt long 'til men in white coats came and took the
man away from home
To a place full of loonies. Where he wouldn't feel
alone
He was locked up like an animal and that's where he
spent his life

There's a toothless man staring down in his glass
He's the kind of man who never says no to a drink
He hears tunes and words like the wind through the grass
Judged by the look you'd never expect him to think
Cheerio McGowan Cheerio
Cheerio, Cheerio I raise for you a pint Cheerio
We have followed you from "Roses" to "Sodomy and the
lash"
You're one of the greatest poets of this day
Your body it tells us you're just about to crash
Believe it we saw on St Patricks day
Cheerio McGowan Cheerio
Cheerio, Cheerio I raise for you a pint Cheerio
Was it ever the Whiskey or the far too many stouts
That made the band decide to kick you out?
Well us being no nobleman we can't tell anyway
We're glad to see you back shure hope you'll stay

If I was the innkeeper I tell you what I'd do
I'd invite my friends for a drink or two
So grab your maid and dance away
I promise you good porter won't lead you astray
So if you come around I'll pour one into you
Let's drink ye friends, let's drink tallio
Let's fill our glass and cheer 'til the morning
When was fifteen, almost fifteen years ago
I pint of good beer was found in every bar
Every keeper in our town they made their own good draught
When travelling through the cities well I made some new
acquaintance
Of girls and maids ales stouts and of good draught
Let's drink ye friends, let's drink tallio
Let's fill our glass and cheer 'til the morning
And now I'm older with some grey hairs on me head
The pleasures of drinking is not just still the same
The plenteous of ales and stouts are reduced into a few
The keepers aren't allowed to make their own good brew
If I was the Innkeeper I tell you what I'd do

Farewell to your bricks and mortar,farewell to your
dirty lies
Farewell to your gangers and gang planks, to hell with
your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay
to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
I'm on my way down to the quay where the ship at anchor
lays
To command a gang of navvys that they told me to engage
I thought I'd drop in for a drink before I went away
For to take a trip on an emigrant ship to the shores of
Botany Bay
Farewell to your bricks and mortar,farewell to your
dirty lies
Farewell to your gangers and gang planks, to hell with
your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay
to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
The boss came up this morning, he says "well Pat you
know
If you don't get your navvys out I'm afraid you have to
go"
So I asked him for me wages and demanded all my pay
For I told him straight, I'm going to emigrate to the
shores of Botany Bay
Farewell to your bricks and mortar,farewell to your
dirty lies
Farewell to your gangers and gang planks, to hell with
your overtime
For the good ship Ragamuffin is lying at the quay
to take oul Pat with a shovel on his back
To the shores of Botany Bay.
And when I reach Australia I'll go and look for gold
There's plenty there for the digging of, or so I have
been told
Or else I'll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks
I'll lay
Because I live for an eight hour shift on the shores of
Botany Bay
