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

Last night as I slept, I dreamt I met with Behan
\nHe took me by the hand and I passed the time of day
\nThe questions that I asked on the crux of life’s philosophies
\nHe had but these few, clear and simple words to say<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nI am going, I am going, any which way the wind may be blowing
\nI am going; I am going, where streams of whiskey are flowing<\/p>\n

The words that he spoke were the wisest of philosophies
\nThere was nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear
\nWhen the world seemed to dark and I need a light inside of me
\nI’ll go into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

I’ve cursed, bled and swore, jumped bail and landed up in jail
\nThey’ve often tried to hang me, but rope always went slack
\nNow that I’ve a pile, I’ll go down to the Chelsea
\nI’ll walk in on my feet, but I’ll leave there on my back<\/p>\n

Chorus
