Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Oh there’s four that share the room
And we work hard for the for the crack
And getting up late on Sunday I never get to mass
Chorus:
It’s a long, long way from Clare here
It’s a long, long way from Clare here
Oh it’s a long, long way it gets further day by day
It’s a long, long way from Clare here
When Friday night comes around, he’s only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home, but I’m too tired for writing
Chorus
And the only time I feel all right is when I’m into drinking
It eases off the pain a bit and levels out my thinking
Chorus
Well it almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I promised I’d be coming back with pockets full of green
Chorus
I dream I hear a piper play maybe it’s a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
Chorus
