Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dublin - Take Me! (F Furey & D Arthur)
Subject: Lyr Add: DUBLIN - TAKE ME
About a year ago, I came across a song called "Dublin - Take Me" sung by Finbar Furey and Davey Arthur. Very boogie-like. Quite untypical, at least for F.Furey. Does anybody know, if they did more like this ? Or is anyone able to fill the gaps ? I´d be very glad to get the song complete. Here is what I could get from the record:

Dublin - Take Me

If you´re going back to Dublin - take me
on a nightlife ... there´s nowhere else I want to be.
Just pick me up and carry me across the Irish Sea.
Well, if you´re going back to Dublin - take me.

Well, if I can´t make it, please take my regards to Sweeney O´Donnell, my good friend´s down in Rathgar
... and a big smile for the guards.
Well, if I can´t make it, please take my regards

Sunny days on the Wicklow Mountains, and music on ...
rainy nights in the Crescent (Gresham?) Hotel,
oh Lord, I´ve gotta, I´ve got to go !

I meet you under the arch at Trinity around about eight.
And if it don´t rain, I´ll be waiting outside at the gate.
We can go to O´Neill´s and talk all night
and tomorrow when heaven can wait,
I meet you under the arch at Trinity around about eight.

Sunny days in the Wicklow Mountains,
and music on ...
rainy nights in the Grecian Hotel,
oh Lord, I´ve gotta, I´ve got to go !

oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo.

If you´re going back to Dublin - take me
on a nightlife there´s nowhere else I want to be.
Just pick me up and carry me across the Irish Sea.
Well, if you´re going back to Dublin - take me.


Greetings to y´all, Harald
