Hills Of Connemara |
Gather up the pots and the old tin can |
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran |
And then run like the devil from the excise man |
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney |
Now keep your eyes well peeled today |
The tall, tall men, they’re on their way |
They’re searching for the mountain tea |
In the hills of Connemara |
Gather up the pots and the old tin can |
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran |
And then run like the devil from the excise man |
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney |
A gallon for the butcher and a quart for Tom |
And a bottle for the poor old Father Tom |
To help the poor old dear along |
In the hills of Connemara |
Gather up the pots and the old tin can |
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran |
And then run like the devil from the excise man |
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney |
Now swing to the left, now swing to the right |
Sure, the excise man can dance all night |
He’s drinkin 'up the tea 'til the broad daylight |
In the hills of Connemara |
Gather up the pots and the old tin can |
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran |
And then run like the devil from the excise man |
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney |
Now, stand your ground, and don’t you fall |
The excise men, they’re at the wall |
Jesus Christ, they’re drinkin' it all |
In the hills of Connemara |
Gather up the pots and the old tin can |
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran |
And then run like the devil from the excise man |
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney |
