Lyrics:
But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's Band
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze away
McCarthy pumps
clouds arose
...
We felt the wrath of the storm
That night I was haunted by dreams
An omen, of what was to come
The serpent arose from the sea
Ready
had eight million bails of old nanny-goats'tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover.
There was awl Mickey Coote
Who played hard on his flute
When
Jumping in my Rover, I'm coming over
Jumping in my Rover, I'm coming over
Hit you at 8 then you better be awake by 9
Alright, if I say I'm
chest, the Sierra Madre
My hips, every high and byway
That you trace with your fingertips like a Toyota
Run your hands over me like a Land Rover
In
eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails
In the hold of the Irish Rover
Well we had Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee,
We had Hogan from
the U-Stone
On which the system's broke
A word now, Irish people
No matter where you are
Remember our brave rebels
In Long Kesh this year
And by civil
Hot shit (hot shit)
Mmm, I'm goin' down, down, baby
Your street in a Range Rover (come on)
Street sweeper baby, cocked, ready to let it go (hot
on
For once in love with Amy
Always in love with Amy
Ever and ever, fascinated by her
Sets your heart afire to stay
Once you're kissed by Amy
Tear up your
In eleven sixty-seven
They came to Ireland on the make
They were followed by invasions and
By conquests in their wake
The kings and queens of England
tonight
Celebrations worldwide over by every Irish rover
Singing song's about their native soil
I've worked in many places and mixed with many races
But I'd
Happy when the daylight comes creeping
Heralding the dawn
Sleeping when it's raining
And sleeping when it's fine
Trains travelling
By above
You read the mail in your bed
Like your daily bread
And you can't get over the culture clash
They come here overnight
They get a job on site
They
an apparition
He lives by the shore, but he comes from the sea
Goddess of the deep Lady Aphrodite
Don't let him swim with the fishes
Like Luca Brasi
Now
To England while the Irish people starved
And then, in the middle of all this
They gave us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our history
breathing
Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through
breathing
Come say what you see in me
'Cause boy, I believe in you
Come say what you're seeing
All gone just ghost dancing, going all the way through
the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
For a sailor it's always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
'Til he launch
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
As valiant a man as ever left home
And he had been much reduced
Which caused great confusion
And that was
I ain't tryna stop ya
(Shine) From my head down to my shoes
(Shine) Skritin' on twenty-two's
(Shine) Check my baby mama
(Shine) Whip Rovers, not
from
Ireland
But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's Band
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze
away
for the ice cream to come around.
Two steps back
Two doors down
I meet my old friends there
They queue up for cash there
They are part Irish
they come from
Ireland
But, by yimminy, I'm the only Swede in MacNamara's Band
Oh, the drums go bang and the cymbals clang and the horns they blaze
away
When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover
She was irish as the day was long
I thought she'd give it to me maybe
Now she's married with a baby
