Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was Christmas Eve babe
\nIn the drunk tank
\nAn old man said to me, won’t see another one
\nAnd then he sang a song
\nThe Rare Old Mountain Dew
\nAnd I turned my face away
\nAnd dreamed about you<\/p>\n

Got on a lucky one
\nCame in eighteen to one
\nI’ve got a feeling
\nThis year’s for me and you
\nSo happy Christmas
\nI love you baby
\nI can see a better time
\nWhen all our dreams come true<\/p>\n

They’ve got cars
\nBig as bars
\nThey’ve got rivers of gold
\nBut the wind goes right through you
\nIt’s no place for the old
\nWhen you first took my hand
\nOn a cold Christmas Eve
\nYou promised me
\nBroadway was waiting for me<\/p>\n

You were handsome
\nYou were pretty
\nQueen of New York City
\nWhen the band finished playing
\nThey howled out for more
\nSinatra was swinging
\nAll the drunks they were singing
\nWe kissed on the corner
\nThen danced through the night<\/p>\n

The boys of the NYPD choir
\nWere singing ‘Galway Bay’
\nAnd the bells were ringing
\nOut for Christmas day<\/p>\n

You’re a bum
\nYou’re a punk
\nYou’re an old slut on junk
\nLiving there almost dead on a drip
\nIn that bed<\/p>\n

You scum bag
\nYou maggot
\nYou cheap lousy faggot
\nHappy Christmas your arse
\nI pray God
\nIt’s our last<\/p>\n

I could have been someone
\nSo could anyone
\nYou took my dreams
\nFrom me when I first found you
\nI kept them with me babe
\nI put them with my own
\nCan’t make it all alone
\nI’ve built my dreams around you<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
