The Snake |
| Last night as I slept |
| I dreamt I met Macgowan |
| That poetic old drunk |
| Who consumes me with his words |
| The romantic lines of verse |
| He writes down without effort |
| I pray the angels catch him |
| If he should fall from the grace of God |
| Shane oh Shane |
| Oh God bless that name |
| You’ve sold your soul long ago |
| But we’ll buy it back someday |
| Oh Shane oh Shane |
| Oh God bless that name |
| May the heavens smile down upon |
| You, Shane oh Shane |
| As the time passes by |
| You defy the laws of nature |
| The hard life that you lived |
| Should have ended long ago |
| But there’s a reason that |
| You’re still Here and singing with us |
| So strike up the band and raise a glass |
| For Macgowan as we sing! |
| The Irishman in question |
| And his historic legend |
| I pray to God above |
| For the church of the Holy Spook |
| May the Grace and the mercy shown me |
| Be the life that’s breathed within you |
| So the heavens will rejoice |
| And Shane will lead the choir |
