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

Well it seems when he came over things were fairly looking up
\nPlayed full forward for Mountbellew when they won the county cup
\nYoung Barrett’s gone to Boston so he has to play in goal
\nThe Pied Piper’s come to Ireland and he’s living on the dole<\/p>\n

You can stroll through Cong and Ballinrobe,
\nYou can walk the streets of Tuam
\nThumb out as far as Headford on returning pass through Shrule
\nYou won’t see many young ones no matter where you roam
\nThe Pied Piper’s come to Ireland and he’s living on the dole<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nThe Pied Piper’s come to Ireland and he’s living on the dole
\nPlayed in Spiddal with the Waterboys now he loves rock ‘n roll<\/p>\n

Now there’s just a pile of rubble where the workers used to go
\nJust a stones throw from the banks through which
\nThe ould Clare river flows
\nWhen the people hear his haunting tune they pack
\nAnd leave their homes
\nFor fear of revolution the pied piper gets the dole<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nThe Pied Piper’s come to Ireland and he’s living on the dole
\nPlayed in Spiddal with the Waterboys now he loves rock ‘n roll<\/p>\n

I hear they’re raising money abroad in New York town
\nIt’s not for guns or bombs this time but to turn the tables round
\nOne last job for the piper and they’ll pay one great amount
\nTo drive them all into the sea that gang in Leinster House<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nThe Pied Piper’s come to Ireland and he’s living on the dole
\nPlayed in Spiddal with the Waterboys now he loves rock ‘n roll<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
