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

We’re a’ met together here tae sir an’ tae crack.
\nWi’ oor glasses in oor hands, an’ oor wark upon oor back;
\nFor there’s no’ a trade among them a’ can either mend or mak’,
\nGin it wasna for the wark o’ the weavers. <\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nIf it wasna for the weavers what wad they do?
\nThey wadna hae claith mads oor o’ oor woo’.
\nThey wadna hae a coar neither black nor blue,
\nGin it wasna for the wark o’ the weavers.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThere’s some folk independent o’ ither tradesmen’s wark
\nFor women need nae barber an’ dykers need nae clerk;
\nBut there’s no ane o’ them but needs a coat an’ a sark
\nNa, they canna want the wark o’ the weavers.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThere’s smiths an’ there’s wrights and there’s mason cheils an’ a’ There’s doctors an’ there’s meenisters an’ them that live by law An’ oor freens that bide oot ower the sea in Sooth America An’ they a’ need the wark o’ the weavers.<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nOor sodgers an’ oor sailors, od, we mak’ tham a’ bauld For gin they hadna claes, faith, they couldna fecht for cauld, The high an’ low, the rich an’ puir – a \u2019body young an’ auld, They a’ need the wark o’ the weavers.
