Toora Loora Lay |
| I woke upon a Sunday morning |
| Tired eyes to great the day |
| A rucksack full of expectations |
| Up on dreary Langton Way |
| The train awaiting on the platform |
| The diesel humming high |
| A one way ticket stamped for freedom |
| Time for just one last goodbye |
| Toora loora lay |
| I’m on my way |
| Make it New York City, San Francisco, Botany Bay |
| I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting mister |
| For this faithful day |
| Toora loora lay |
| Took passage on the early water |
| Waved the mainland sweet goodbye |
| Lit a cigarette above on top deck' |
| Watched the seagulls soar the sky |
| I woke up to the sound of laughter |
| And the strangers passing by |
| Stepped upon the land of dreams |
| And had myself a smile |
| Toora loora lay |
| I’m on my way |
| Make it New York City, San Francisco, Botany Bay |
| I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting mister |
| For this faithful day |
| Toora loora lay |
| Met a sham from Blarney, ginger red |
| On a New York City street |
| He was asking if I’d seen the hurling |
| And how the hell we’d meet |
| At a bar in Queens |
| He knew a man that came from my hometown |
| Then he borrowed twenty dollars |
| Till his pay day came around |
| Toora loora lay |
| I’m on my way |
| Make it New York City, San Francisco, Botany Bay |
| I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting mister |
| For this faithful day |
| Toora loora lay |
| I got some work by Sydney Harbour |
| With a firm from Antrim town |
| We were digging up the paving stones |
| Laying concrete piping down |
| Found a place up on the hill for pints |
| Where they said you’d have to craic |
| They were singing toora loora lay |
| Saying we’re never going back |
| Toora loora lay |
| I’m on my way |
| Make it New York City, San Francisco, Botany Bay |
| I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting mister |
| For this faithful day |
| Toora loora lay |
| Toora loora lay |
| I’m on my way |
| Make it New York City, San Francisco, Botany Bay |
| I’ve been praying I’ve been waiting mister |
| For this faithful day |
| Toora loora lay |
