lyrics

I'm not sure how long it took
Took a page from Brendan's book
And I spent my evening's drinking down the pub
Where the barmaids were my friend
And every now and then
They'd send a shot of Powers with their love

And I remember JFK
In a most uncommon way
For his picture's hanging up above the bar
And to the left of that
There's a painting of St. Pat
And a rosary someone dropped into a jar

(Chorus)
We had thoughts of home
And a flag on the wall
We had fiddle playin' men
We had bold young lads who faced the foe
Saying 'death is not the end'
We had Mickey Dwyer by the alehouse fire
Singin' The Flower of Sweet Strabane
With the air in their lungs
The fathers and sons say
The glen will rise again Oh!
The glen will rise again

I got pissed in the UK
Drank my ten pounds away
And I left the bastards lying on the floor
And when the Prince of Wales himself
Came to drag me to my cell
It took seven men to show me to the door!
