Lyrics:
15 Years on the county line
Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind
Down in Arlington, Virginia where the law make us stay
Ball and chain
Near Banbridge town, in the County Down
One morning in July
Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín
And she smiled as she passed me by
She looked
"Where in the hell he get this?"
There was a stew about burying him in Arlington
So they shipped him in box to Fayette
And they stashed him in a grave
to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown,
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down.
At the crossroads fair
McCann.
I'd a heart to let and no tenant yet
Did I meet with in shawl or gown,
But in she went and I asked no rent
From the Star of the County Down.
Chorus
Near Banbridge Town,
In the County Down

Came a sweet colleen,
And she smiled as she passed me by.

Thats how they feel Jack, built much
and Arcadians
All my bread, I invest in the county
You should see what I spent on this cardigan
And everything on me rare steak almost rare
I spent at least
out of central bullets
County jails and the lock downs up north
Said I should have it if Scarface pass the torch
Thats how they feel Jack, built much
on my own merit
What I've got's not for sale, you on clearance
2, 3, 5, 7-I'm in my prime
Cali zipcode, Durham County grind, yah
You already, run wit
the witness?
I wrote a letter to authorities when they threw out the tenants
To claim that shit that bronem claim, you know that shit a privilege
For Pat I'll
I bought a fixer upper down in tuscaloosa county
The cap rate was delicious so i took up the bounty
Smashed up the kitchen - and i found some mold
a tenant, and it ain't for lack of looking
But half Allen County knows what he did
Now he's months behind with the patrolman's credit union
An' once a week he
generations
Tenant farmers living off the land
The greedy landlord cast us out so he can graze more sheep
Such villainy cannot be left to stand
The common folk
I used to say as long as I'm more complex than my father I'm straight
End of the day they gon say "They estranged"
Tenements with tents, tenants
this is their world
We had no choice
This is their would and we had no choice
I was born in the last days
The county made the cash exchange
