Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Seven years since I took the road and caught the magic bus aboard
In the city there’s worlds of wonderful stuff I’ve taken some trips and capture the buzz
But I’ve had enough of this crowded place, too many people and not enough space
I’ve got some songs I’d like to put down; I hear Kenny’s gone 24 track now
Chorus:
As true as God I’m telling you straight, I’m on my way and I just can’t wait
Will you air the bed in my old room, cause I’m goin’ back to Tuam
I miss the walking up the street, every few yards there’s someone to meet
Will you go for a pint or I meet have two, the porter tastes great in the afternoon
Meself and herself have broken up, I know you’ll that it’s all for luck
Time is a healer it heals all wounds, I hope it starts on mine real soon
Chorus:
As true as God I’m telling you straight, I’m on my way and I just can’t wait
Will you air the bed in my old room, cause I’m goin’ back to Tuam
They moved the cross; it must feel lakes, walking around the square
Someone told me that Joe Bags skirted, he’s gone to God knows where
Are the football men still standing, discussing last Sunday’s match
Is the rustic vaults still the same, is there music in the thatch
Chorus:
As true as God I’m telling you straight, I’m on the road and I just can’t wait
Will you air the bed in my old room, cause I’m goin’ back to Tuam
I’m goin’ back, me bags are packed, I’m goin’ back to Tuam
