01 Apr 06 - 03:10 AM (#1708024) Subject: Lyr Add: DUBLIN O'SHEA (from The Irish Rovers) From: Peace BINGO Dublin O'Shea As Sung by The Irish Rovers Chorus: Have another drink, boys, well have one with me We're home from the sea, yes, we're back on the shore And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor. He lived on the dockside near Liverpool town And he often went down, the thief and the vagabond Everyone knew him as Dublin O'Shea But some say he came from Killarney. I sing of an Irishman honest and plain But what's in a name when you think of the man himself He was a sailor and he drank with the same, And he mastered the fine art of blarney. He was a lay preacher and a God-fearin' man With a drink in his hand what a terrible sinner He'd drink to the Devil and spit in your eye, Then go to confession on Friday. For ramblin' and rovin' there's none to compare, If you'd met him you'd swear that the man was a saint But if you could just see him in some foreign bar You'd swear he was the High King of Ireland. from users.cgiforme.com/irishlyrics/messages/4621.html |

This is the first time I've used the forum and I'm really impressed by the trouble people take answering other people's questions. Sorry about the three threads Eric. I wasn't sure that I'd posted the question properly the first time. Then the second one seemed to disappear after a few hours. I'll learn! Andrew T |

I have never heard the song--not that I recall anyway--so I cannot attest to the accuracy of the words. They were all I could find, so I had no other source to verify them against. Also, it's a bit saddening when the author isn't credited. If you come across that info in your travels, would you please post who wrote it? Thank you. |
