Far Away - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
Far away the river flows forever on
the sun goes down and the waves roll back the tide

No more on the docks I´ll be seen

Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street
A gentleman Irish mighty odd

Starring to the sea that's all I ever wanted
So much pain inside Now I can leave it al behind

That Black Fitzwilliam stormed your place

Geordie
As I walked out over London Bridge
One misty morning early

Lamenting for her Geordie

hanged in a golden chain
It´s not the chain of many
He was born of King´s royal breed
And lost to a virtuous lady"

Go To Sea No More
When first I landed in Liverpool
I went upon the spree
My money at last, I spent it fast
got drunk as drunk could be
And when me money was all gone
it was then I wanted more
But a man must be blind
to make up his mind
to go to sea once more
I spent that night with God Save Ireland - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
God Save Ireland
High upon the gallows tree
swung the noble-hearted Three
By the vengeful tyrant
stricken in their bloom
But they met him face to face
with the courage of their race
And they went with souls
undaunted to their doom
Girt around with cruel foes
still their courage prouHenry Joy - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]

An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From the Antrim Glens I come
Although I labour by the sea

I have heard the martial tramp of men

I followed Henry Joy
I pulled my boat up from the sea

One more road I'd like to ride said the bum before he died
When the train rolls

Dreary clouds are drifting by the moon
whisp´rin' sadness
to my thoughts it seems
autumn winds

Thunder clouds

lightning like a bright bolt
from the blue
ragin' rolling waves
effected blackouts

In the dark hour late at night
Who should I meet but a fair young maiden
Washing her clothes by the broad moon light

Madam I´m a darling a-di-ro-dee
First she washed them then she squeezed them

But now they all fall

In Dublin´s fair city
where the girls are so pretty

She wheeled her wheel-barrow
through the streets broad and narrow
Crying Cockles and mussles alive alive-o
She was a fishmonger
and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
