The Tuam Beat

(앨범: Lily - 2016)

Once upon a golden age
Singin songs was all the rage
Songs for glory songs for fun
Sad songs in the Native Tongue

Upon my solemn oath
There'd be forty verses note for note
Here's a song to set you free
From all of the auld history

The Tuam Beat goes Sugar Sugar
The heart speaks how's your Mother
The Tuam Beat goes Shimmy Shammy
The heart speaks how's your Mammy
Singin the song, singin the song, singin the same old song

Stall her sham you're only spoofin
You're huffin and you're puffin, you're blowin the roof in
I've got electric guitar
With the pickup and the tremolo bar

The workin workin workin man
Are you wide to Paddy Talty's plan
Boys n Girls twist and shout
Have a bit of fun and dance about

Quarter to eleven off you go
Down the palace not too slow
Heaven's all across the sky
I declare to god I must reply

The Tinker and the Pavee Sham
Fair play to the Travelling Man
His wheel broke he settled down
He brings beauty to the town
