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

When the sun it goes down in old Dublin Town
\nAnd the moon took me out for a gargle
\nIn me old Sam Brown belt and brimmer of felt
\nI’d go down by the banks of the Dargle
\nI was only a boy, and me gun was a toy
\nAnd how I grew up was a marvel
\nBut history was made of the games that we played
\nDown by the old river Dargle<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nIt’s one, two and three, I’m the Gunner McGee
\nI live by me wits and the gargle
\nYet attained o’ a three, say a small glory be
\nFor McGee and the boys of Dargle<\/p>\n

When the risin’ went down in old Dublin Town
\nThere was none took me out for a gargle
\nAnd the men in the street they just spit through their teeth
\nAt McGee and the boys of Dargle
\nThey could not understand all the fine things we planned
\nIt made Lloyd George stand back and marvel
\nAnd they talked of their pride, while James Connolly died
\nFor the dreams that we dreamed on the Dargle<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

When the sun it goes down in old Dublin Town
\nAnd the moon took me out for a gargle
\nI’d go down by a drain full of rubbish and shame
\nThat once was the proud river Dargle
\nSure it’s one, two and three, I’m the Gunner McGee
\nNo longer a threat or a marvel
\nFor what to me is the same thing you see
\nThat’s happened the proud river Dargle<\/p>\n
