The Wolfe Tones - Celtic Symphoney lyrics

rate me

It was far across the sea, when the devil got a hold of me

He wouldn't set me free, so he kept me soul for ransom

na na na na na...

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town,

I've sailed this world around and round

He's the meanest thing that I have found

In all me days of wandering

na na na na na...

Here we go again, we're on the road again.

We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise.

We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps

For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down

I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!

Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic,

Graffiti on the wall...

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA.

We went thru each jungle deep

For the paradise that we did seek

Twas no trip for the weak

We're waltzing with the natives.

Around in circles every way,

He turned to me and he did say,

"I think you're leading me astray,

I want your soul, me boyo!"

na na na na na...

Here we go again, we're on the road again.

We're on the road again, we're on the way to paradise.

We love the jungle deep, that's where the lion sleeps

For then those evil eyes, they have no place in paradise.

Graffiti on the walls, just as the sun was going down

I see graffiti on the walls - for the Celts! for the Celts!

Graffiti on the walls says we're magic, we're magic,

Graffiti on the wall...

It says oh ah up the 'RA, say ooh ah up the 'RA.
