The Roving Trade |
The boys in the farm are working the plow |
They’re picking potatoes and milking the cow |
But we haven’t time for shovel or sow |
We work at the roving trade |
Here’s to the music and here’s to the night |
And here’s to the whiskey the water of life |
Here’s to the lassies we’re holding them tight |
And here’s to the roving trade |
Back on the road we’re going to be |
Rogues and romances of high degree |
The lassies are happy whenever they see |
The boys of the roving trade |
Here’s to the music and here’s to the night |
And here’s to the whiskey the water of life |
Here’s to the lassies we’re holding them tight |
And here’s to the roving trade |
Dublin and Cork and Galway are fine |
And Limerick is beautiful most of the time |
But Belfast is never to far from me mind |
I miss her whenever I roam |
Here’s to the music and here’s to the night |
And here’s to the whiskey the water of life |
Here’s to the lassies we’re holding them tight |
And here’s to the roving trade |
We’ve traveled the world for many’s a mile |
Singin' and playin' and bringin' a smile |
And soon we’ll be back in the Emerald Isle |
For Paddy is headed for home |
Here’s to the music and here’s to the night |
And here’s to the whiskey the water of life |
Here’s to the lassies we’re holding them tight |
And here’s to the roving trade |
«Diddly doo dum» to the tune of the chorus twice |
