POGUES - The Broad Majestic Shannon lyrics

rate me

The last time I saw you was down at the greeks<br>There was whiskey on sunday and tears on our cheeks<br>You sang me a song as pure as the breeze<br>Blowing up the road to glenaveigh<br>I sat for a while at the cross at finnoe<br>Where young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom<br>Heard the men coming home from the fair at shinrone<br>Their hearts in tipperary wherever they go<br><br>Take my hand, and dry your tears babe<br>Take my hand, forget your fears babe<br>There's no pain, there's no more sorrow<br>They're all gone, gone in the years babe<br><br>I sat for a while by the gap in the wall<br>Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball<br>Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called<br>And a fiddle playing sean dun na ngall<br>And the next time I see you we'll be down at the greeks<br>There'll be whiskey on sunday and tears on our cheeks<br>For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl<br>About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball<br><br>So I walked as day was dawning<br>Where small birds sang and leaves were falling<br>Where we once watched the row boats landing<br>By the broad majestic shannon
