Met him on the Killorglin road Thinking mine was a heavy load Said to stop and rest awhile Long enough to find your smile Said I don't know this and I don't know that But I know what's under Willie Goggin's hat chorus: And if it ain't broke don't fix it But how many of us ain't broke And how many of us ain't died A thousand broken hearted lives? And how many of us, amen Ain't got a broken heart to mend? And I may be a tinker and I may be a fool But I'll fix anything as good as new I can fix anything but the golden rule For gold can only fill a tooth Long as I've got the price of a pint My hands are rough but I can sleep at night I learned years ago and years since then There's no such thing as a common man Don't work for pay, get paid for work And on the day I forgot these words I lost the play and I played a part And I lost the gift of a golden heart There are those that always buy things new And those that always must make do Here's to Mary-Margaret and Maureen And all the folks from Cahirciveen Who'd give you the shirt off their back And gave me Willie Goggin's hat In which case the song is Willie Goggins Hat and can be found on youtube as well as elsewhere. |

31 Jul 11 - 12:04 AM (#3198902) Subject: Lyr Add: ON THE ROAD FROM KILLORGLIN TO CAHERCIVEE From: Jim Dixon From a blog called On the road from Killorglin to Caherciveen: ON THE ROAD FROM KILLORGLIN TO CAHERCIVEEN Words by Dennis Martin McCarthy; music by Jim Diggin. As I stepped out from Francey Sheehan's one morning so fair, I bumped into Maureen Darky and her locks of red hair. She broke into verse with a thrust of her chest, And shattered the windows of Paddy Brennan's passing hearse. And now we go westward to a place called Caragh Lake, Where Fergal O'Brien pumps his iron all day, Kerry's Bog Village is a place to behold, While a drunk cuckoo tries to find his way home. And now we're in Glenbeigh, the loveliest of them all, With all of its characters lined up to enthrall, From the Gour, Johnny Mahoney to Waxy and Peadar, And Brendan Sweeney thrown to add a bit of swagger. The Towers on a Saturday is like Milltown Mart, With all the local farmers leaving off a couple of farts, From drinking bad Guinness and eating in Breen's, 'Tis a wonder we all have any spleens. So to all a farewell and with this I do leave, For what else do I say only "up Ballycleave", For if Glenbeigh is now a part of the USA, Then fuck it, John Egg, you must be gay. |
