Irish Boy |
Well, I danced in the arms of a black carry girl |
In the scully square after the war |
And I drank to get drunk and I sank and I stump |
Like a drunk on a subway floor. |
(Chorus) |
And I never did marry Cathy O’Shade |
She met another and they went their way. |
To the wind, you’re a joy, just a drunk irish boy |
Just a face in the crowd, I’ll be back around |
To show you all something someday. |
(Verse) |
There are some things that must remain secret |
You can find no good reason to tell |
There’s too many men telling their secrets these days |
And I like to tell them to all go to hell. |
(Chorus) |
So I never had dreams that they never came true |
As far as you know, anyway. |
To the wind, you’re a toy, just a drunk irish boy, |
Just a face in the crowd, I’ll be back around |
To show you all something some day. |
(Verse) |
Gonna be big, gonna be big to the highest of trees |
We used to climb my brother and me. |
High on the limbs, two laughing hyenas, |
Over was Struckberry’s cemetery. |
(Chorus) |
To the wind you’re a toy, just a slim irish boy, |
Coming back home from a war. |
Just a face in the crowd, just a drunken out loud, |
Just don’t try looking down, cause I’ll be back around |
To show you all something someday |
To show you all something someday. |
