CGather �round, ye lads and lasses, Fset ye for a Cwhile
And hearken to me mournful tale Gof the Emerald Isle
CLet�s all raise our glasses high to Ffriends and familCy gone
And lift our voices in another IGrish drinking sCong
CConsumption took me mother and me fFather got the Cpox
Me brother drank the whiskey �til he Gwound up in a box
CMy other brother in the Troubles Fmet with his dCemise
My sister has forever closed her sGmiling Irish eCyes
CHORUS. CNow everybody�s died
So unFtil our tears are dried
CWe�ll drink and drink and drink and drink,
and then we�ll drink some Gmore
CWe�ll dance and sing and fight
until the eFarly morning light
Then we�ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once Cagain
****Same pattern for the rest of the song****
Kenny was killed in Kilkenny and Claire, she died in Clare
Tip from Tipperary died out in the Derry air
Shannon jumped into the River Shannon back in June
Ernie fell into the Erne, and Tom is in the Toome
�Cleanliness is godliness� me Uncle Pat would sing
He broke his neck a�slippin� on a bar of Irish Spring
O�Grady, he was 80 though his bride was just a pup
He died upon the honeymoon when she got his Irish up
CHORUS. Joe Murphy fought with Reilly near the banks of old Doneen
He took out his shillelagh and he stabbed him in the spleen
Crazy Uncle Mike believed he was a leprechaun -
In fact he�s just a leper, and his arms and legs are gone
When Timmy Johnson broke his neck it was a cryin� shame
He wasn�t really Irish, but he went to Notre Dame
McNamara crossed the street and by a bus was hit
But he was just a Scotsman, so nobody gave a (ARRGHH)
CHORUS. Me drunken Uncle Brendan tried to drive home from the bar
The road rose up to meet him when he fell out of his car
Irony was what befell my great-grand Uncle Sam
He choked upon the very last potato in the land
Conor lived in Ulster town, he used to smuggle arms
Until the British killed him and cut off his lucky charms
And dear old Father Flanagan, who left the lord�s employ
Drunk on sacramental wine, beneath the altar boy
CHORUS. (slower)
Someday soon I�ll leave this world of pain and toil and sin
The Lord will take me by the hand to join all of me kin
Me only wish is when the Savior comes for me and you
(n.c.)
He kills the cast of Riverdance, and Michael Flatley too
CHORUS (2x)
