- Alligator Arms
Whose round, is it anyway? I paid, just the other day. You know that, it's really not that hard, All you got to do is, pull out your credit card. You call yourself a friend of mine, But I am paying all the time, When it's time to drop some dough, You're the one that's always slow. You say that it's not that you're cheap, It's your arms are too short and your pockets are too deep.
Chorus It's your alligator arms, your arms, your arms, You've got alligator arms. It's your alligator arms, your arms, your arms, You've got alligator arms.
My mother, thinks that you're a saint, Everybody else, we all know you aint. My sister, has a crush on you, I bet she'd change her mind, if she only knew. The bill arrives, you're never found, Get to the bar and stand your round, Just once why don't you volunteer, Get up and buy us all a beer! You say that it's not that you're cheap, It's your arms are too short and your pockets are too deep.
Chorus
- An poc ar buile
Ar mor ghabháil dom siar chum Droichead Ui Mhórdha
Pice im dhóid is médui i meitheal.
Cé chasfai orm i gcumar ceoidh
Ach pocán crón is é ar buile!
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu, alliliú tá an poc ar buile.
Alliliú puilliliu

Well I'm a little beggarman, I am a beggarman,

Well I'm a little beggarman and begging I have been

- Beidh Aonach Amarach
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir
Beidh aonach amárach i gContae an Chláir

A mháithrín, an ligfidh tú chun aonaigh mé?
- Black Is The Colour
Now black is the color of my true love's hair
Her lips are like some roses fair
The sweetest smile and the gentlest hands
I love the ground whereon she stands
I love my love and well she knows
I love the ground where on she goes
I hope the day will one day come
- Bonnie Ship the Diamond
Oh the Diamond is a ship me lads, for the Davis strait she's bound
And the key it is all garnished wae bonnie lassies round
Captain Thompson gees the orders, to sail the ocean wide
Where the sun it never sets me lads, and darkness dims the sky
Oh the Diamond is a ship me lads, for the Davis strait she's bound
And the key it is all garnished wae bonnie lassies round

Where the sun it never sets me lads, and darkness dims the sky
- Born To Be A Bachelor
Let me introduce meself,
Me name 'tis Paddy Green
I am me mammy's pride and joy
A fine oul' buachaillin!
I come from the county Waterford,
Near the village of Tramore,
I've been living at home since I was one,
And now I'm forty-four!
- Courtin' in the Kitchen
Come single belle and beau unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love - it's the devil's own invention
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell down in Captain Kelly's Kitchen
Toura loura lie; toura loura laddy...
At the age of seventeen I was apprentice to a grocer
- Cunla
Who is that there, that's rapping the door to me? (x3)
“Only meself,” says Cúnla.
Who is that there, that's tapping the windowpane? (x3)
“Only meself,” says Cúnla.
Chorus
Cúnla, Cúnla, Cúnla, don’t come any near’r to me! (x3)
- Cyclone McClusky
Twinkling lights come into view as the night swallows the day
We listen for the sounds, the screams, the fear and the fun
to guide us on our way
The barker shouts, into his megaphone, “Step right up and gather ‘round
Two nickels buys a ticket, the Carnival’s in town!”
Chorus:
We’re going ‘round, ‘round, ‘round, wheels on the wall
- Darey's Donkey
'Twas up the Bluestack Mountains
D’arcy kept a bit of a still
We were sneaking home a bottle
When the guards came up the hill
“Lose the booze,” cried D’arcy
And before we could reply
He’d dumped it in the nosebag
Of his donkey standing by
- Down Underground
Say goodbye to the morning light,
Got my Jaffas and my flask of tea,
Sucking death with every breath,
Tryin' to feed my family,
No sanctuary for this yellow canary
Stuck in a black iron cage,
I'm blind as a mole in this bottomless hole,
I'm diggin' my own grave.
- Drink The Night Away
We set sail at half past four,
Looking for a new tomorrow
Don't know when we're coming home
So we drink and we dance and we drown our sorrow
chorus:
Whey, hey, hey laddy hey
Whey hey hey and we'll drink the night away
- Fish And Get Fat
I keep it goin' day by day,
Drink my coffee, smile and say,
"Doin' fine... how's it treatin' you?"
My smile comes from a movie scene,
Words from Sunday's magazine,
Who I am, I only wish I knew.
(Chorus):
- Girls of Dublin Town
Well, the Shenandoah was a good ship, mates
From Dublin town she came
And the captain being an Irishman
And Murphy was his name
’twas on the 17th of March
We lay in Mobile Bay
And the captain being an Irishman
- Green Eyes, Red Hair
Devil’s inside her
The devil’s inside her
Green eyes, red hair, long legs
Devil inside her
Green eyes, red hair, long legs
Devil inside her
- Heart Of The Ocean
Candlelight dies at the window
And the night wind blows soft from the sea
Though I lie in your arms, I'm a thousand miles away
On the waves sailing fast, sailing free
Now I'm bound for the heart of the ocean
I'm riding the sea in my soul
In the dark and the deep
- Hello Monday
Nothing happened again today excitement took a holiday
No spaceship in my cereal bowl no jam to fill my doughnut hole.
The black stuff in between the stars the space around the moon
If tomorrow comes today wouldn't be a day too soon
Chorus:
Paid on Thursday, gone by Sunday
Hello Monday! Here we go again!
- Hills Of Connemara
Gather up the pots and the old tin can
And the mash, and the corn, the barley, and the bran
And then run like the devil from the excise man
Keep the smoke from rising, Barney
Now keep your eyes well peeled today
The tall, tall men, they're on their way
They're searching for the mountain tea
- Human To A God
Just A Small Request
From A Human To A God
Let Me Ask A Favor
That Might Seem A Little Odd
I'm At A Loss
I Need To Cross The Ocean Wide
And I Need To Do It Soon
Like Tomorrow Afternoon
- Johnny Tarr
Lemme tell you a little story about a man named Johnny Tarr
He was a hard drinking son of a preacher, always at the bar
Lager from the tap or shots of Paddy from the shelf
He could open his throttle and throw back a bottle as quick as the devil himself.... Johnny Tarr
Word got around that Johnny Tarr was no pretender,
From Claire to here they'd lock up the beer when Jonny went on a bender,
Down at Dickey Mack's, the Rising Sun, or at the Swan
- Kiss Me I'm Irish
Old songs and old stories
they keep us alive
Without our past, we would never survive
I am my island, my island is me
So you know what you can do
If you don’t like what you see
(Chorus)
- Lover's Wreck
A hundred days at sea, A wretch away from misery
Rummies and rats and tarry jacks my only family
The island of salvation is still a scream a way
As the lungs of the night blow out the light my heart kneels down to pray
Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me
Now I’m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea
I’m killing and I’m drinking my blue heart to black
- Me and the Moon
Well you know I gotta say I met a lot of friends this way, when the sun goes down
Just hanging with the crew knocking back a brew or two
A brew or two! A brew or two or three or four!
Chorus:
Me and the moon stayed up all night;
- My Lucky Day
In the room where fortune falls
On a day when chance is all
In the dark of fierce exile
I felt the grace of your smile
Honey, you're my lucky day
Baby, you're my lucky day
Well I lost all the other bets I made
- Nancy Whiskey
Chorus:
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy-O!
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy whiskey
Whiskey whiskey, Nancy-O!
*musical interlude*
- Northern Lights
давай еще раз выйдем на том старом месте на берегу!
Вниз по переулкам этого портового города..как раньше
Вы столько сделали для меня,так много,все то,что я просил
но.я попрошу сделать еще кое-что,обещайте,что вы это сделаете
Каждый день пойте песни!
помогайте мне плыть
труляля и блаблабла хд
- One More Day Above the Roses
I'm done with you begrudgers!
You pushers and you shovers!
The scurrying, the worrying,
I'm goin’ to have some fun!
Well I was born very young, I grew up in me cradle,
Chances are, that when I die, it will be of something fatal.
So if you see me running, keep up by my side,
- Rag and Bone
Rag and Bone, I'm picking up the Tin Can
Pulling it all in a donkey wagon
Rag and Bone, I'm coming down the street
Comin' round here 'Bout every other week
This place is paved, Picking up the rubbish
Everybody throws away
He's out there in the sunshine, Rain or gloomy day
- Scalliwag
Come away come away with the traveling show
come away with the raggle taggle gypsy oh!
We'll raggle-taggle here we'll raggle-taggle there, raggle up and down taggle everywhere.
From the North from the South from the East from the West, well the sky is our roof and the road is our rest.
No one to say 'yes', no one to say 'no'.
Run free with the raggle-taggle gypsy oh!
- She Was the Prize
I've lived a long life and now I'm looking back -
It's the end of the road, the last stop on the track.
And I smile as think of my true love once more,
The light of my life, the one I adore.
She...she was the prize -
The prettiest girl with the loveliest eyes.
She...she was the prize -
- Slim Jim And The Seven Eleven Girl
He saw her every day she was working at the seven-Eleven,
He would buy two hot-dog's or some natcho's or a Slim-Jim
so that he could see her pretty face then he
got up the nerve to ask her out one day
and she replied, flat out, "no chance, no way "
but in my mind this is what he heard her say...
Will you meet me on the corner
- Spanish Lady
As I came down through Dublin City, at the hour of twelve at night,
Who should I spy, but the Spanish Lady
Washing her feet by the candlelight
First she washed them, then she dried them
Over a fire of amber coals
In all me life I ne'er did see, a maid so sweet about the soul
Chorus
- Stone By Stone
I built myself a wall, I built it stout, I built it tall, I stacked it strong and wide, I lived there deep inside. One heartbreak at a time, around this heart of mine, It's not a wall that you can see, it lives inside of me.
Every hurt became a stone till I was all alone, In this space inside my wall. Believe me when I say you can make it go away, I know you can make it fall.
Chorus I built it stone by stone, stone by stone, I built it stone by stone, stone by stone.
From inside I see the sky, makes me wish that I could fly, Like a bird or airplane, but I can't, I must remain. Between these walls of stone, cold and grey and hard as bone, I've got to break free, I got a world to see.
- Swimmin' in the sea
When I was five
We'd get up at four
And drive on down to the Cornwall shore
Our holidays had come at last
They came real slow and went by fast
Just one week, that's all we had
Then back to work went mom and dad
Happy to be swimmin' in the sea
- Tell Me Ma
I'll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, they stole me comb
But that's alright when i go home
She is handsome, she is prety
She's the belle of belfast city
She is a courting. One. Two. Three
Please won't you tell me who is she?
- The Bear and the Butcher Boy
Chorus
Wrapped up in brown paper, tied up with white string
He would whistle as he went.
When he was happy, he would sing.
Billy Batty was a butcher boy, he rode a butcher's bike,
Down Dublin's dirty back streets at the dawning of daylight.
He loved a girl named Lucy, Lucy loved another lad,
- The Night I Punched Russel Crowe
Here's a little story about someone that you know
He was a right famous fellow by the name of Russell Crowe
I was working at a pub and he was smoking at the bar
That's a crime as you all know in California
So I sidled up the rail, right to where he stood
I said, "I'm sorry Mr. Crowe," as nicely as I could
"You'll have to put that out now, throw it on the floor
- Watery Grave
No warning flare screamed through the air
Lights and wind and rain
The granite teeth of Mizen Reef had risen once again
Many a mast was broken
Many a spire was saved
Many a ship was pulled below down to its watery grave
In Village Bar and houses far
- When I Win
There's a house on a hill,
A great big spankin' beautiful house,
With a view to kill,
Out the back, there's a pool,
A turquoise liquid paradise, man that water's cool!
But do I live there? Do I live there? Do I live there? No, you do!
But when I win, you're gonna have to let me in!
- Whichever Way the Wind Blows
Lyrics:
North into the icy gale, The whale, the fish, are leading us astray. Down below the darkest green, I've seen a world my courage will betray.
Waves are crashing, rising to the sky, Dancing with my soul, my head held high.
A waking dream swept over me, 'Be free', it whispered, 'Drift out with the tide'. 'Open up the gates, untie the rope, In hope of finding who's inside'.
- Whiskey Johnny
Whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
John rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
Whiskey here, whiskey there
