My Irish Blues

My Galway girl dancing upon the river
Shillelagh there is no need for tears
for the water of life a fool I’ll be
Rúla Búla ring dumma do damma da
Healing rain why do the heathen rage
flowing from the whiskey in a jar
I am laughter traveling fast and far
I wake to Irish blues but my wife’s are green
Rúla Búla ring dumma do damma da
Crack of dawn playing the dead Irishmen
laying in the tall grass of Tullamore dew
as long as I can fight as long I can dance
still an' all as long as you never forget
Rúla Búla ring dumma do damma da
