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

I’m a stranger here from Ireland’s shore; I’ve been on the road six months or more
\nHikin’, workin’, travel in style; I’m a vagabond from Erin’s Isle
\nMy sunburned thumb stuck up in the air, many’s the lift from here to there
\nCars, buses, vans and trains, in the punishing heat, the snow and the rain<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nWhack fol the diddle fol the diro day
\nWhack fol the diddle fol the daro
\nMrs. Dolan, your son he isn’t workin’<\/p>\n

I came from Dublin to Jerusalem town, had a drink or two on the journey down
\nAt a railway station called Gare du Nord, I missed my train through garglin’ hard
\nThree days later in Napoli, on a Turkish boat I sailed the sea
\nSlept in a hot hole down below, travelin’ tourist class, you know<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

When the Promised Land came into sight, the customs man gave me a fright
\n“How much money have you got with you, Joe?” I bluffed and said, “Fifty pounds or so.”
\nHe said, “Shalom,” I said, “Good day.” Grabbed me guitar, got fast away
\nDown to the dessert then I went, digging up history and livin’ in a tent<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

It was in the Gulf of Aqaba, I met some Paddies and we had a fleadh
\nDanced through streets of Eilat Town, sang Sean South of Garryowen
\nI was travelin’, I don’t know, you pack your gear, get up and go
\nLeave the crack for another bout, could damn well do with a pint of stout<\/p>\n
