On The One Road
Though we´ve had our troubles now and then
Now´s the time to make them up again
Sure aren´t we all Irish anyhow
Now´s the time to get together, now!
Tinker, tailor, every mother´s son
Butcher, baker, shouldering his gun
Rich man, poor man, every man in line
All to
Only Our Rivers Run Free
When apples still grow in November
When blossoms still bloom on each tree
When leaves are still green in December
It´s then that our land will be free

And still through my sorrow I see
A land that has never known freedom

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

Now I'm most depressed and sad

Shirinovski - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
There lives a man in Moscow
and Russia is his fate
he always prayed for power
for idealty and hate
his dreams are very simple

he is a bloody damned fascist
He's talking about freedom
talking about Russia's lost
but it means another war

Near to Banbridge Town, in the County Down one morning last July
Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen and she smiled as sh epassed me by
Oh, she looked so neat from her two bare feet to the sheen of her nut-brown hair

And when I reached I can`t take no rest
Tunes of silence everywhere I make my Way

The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Now when I was ayoung man I carried me pack,
And I lived the free life of a rover,
From the Murrays Green Basin to the dusty outback,
I waltzed my Matilda all over,
Then in 1915 my country said, Son,
It´s time to stop rambling, there´s work to be done,
When first I left my native home the Blarney we were told
whole people in Australia they picked up tumps of gold
where gold-bars lay on ev'ry street and the buster's rights were free
hurrah said I me napper-lads oh that's the land for me
Oh with me swag upon me shoulder rifle in my hand

In a neat little town they call Belfast,
Apprenticed to trade I was bound,

Far away from me friends and relations,

The Dragon - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
There once was an old man who loved power and glory
but in his long life he just had never won
so he had a dream, let us call it obsession
to stand in the middle, be admired by everyone
He saw his one chance as rumors were spreading

The Ferryman
All the little boats are gone
From the breast of Anna Liffey
And the ferrymen are stranded on the quay
The Dublin docks are dying
And a way of life is gone

For you stole Travellyn´s corn

The Foggy Dew - Paddy Goes To Holyhead[Songtekst]
The Foggy Dew
´Twas down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I.
When Ireland´s line of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its dread tattoo
But the Angelus bell o´er the Liffey´s swell
Rang out in the foggy dew.

Dance, danca, dance, so let the music play
Dance, danca, dance, around till midnight

once there was a wedding
On the 3r of December
Relatives from far and near
They came along that way
An old gipsy talked to them
