Immigrant's Sons
(专辑: Hymns For Bastards - 2011)
We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild Why don't you slip away and your lives will be spared If you stand in way of immigrant's sons we'll put you into hell Daddy died of hunger when the
famine's broken out Mother took me and me brother, we left our lovely town A
long and weary journey across the
stormy sea We landed at the
Boston bay and moved in Mom became a
washerwoman for a
rich man's house Brother and me carried coal in the
local mine Irish people stick together, we met them for a
pint We played a
jigg and danced together all night We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild Why don't you slip away and your lives will be spared If you stand in way of immigrant's sons we'll put you into hell We're proud 'cause our Irish gang is the
toughest out of all Watch your step in our district 'cause we stick you to the
wall No problem for us to beat you, we go to see the
priest In God's name he can absolve us from our sins March 17 and we all meet at MacNamara's place Celebrating Éire and St. Patrick's Day The
fiddle plays some good old songs that came over the
sea We keep the
way our traditions must be We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild Why don't you slip away and your lives will be spared If you stand in way of immigrant's sons we'll put you into hell We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild We drink, we fight, we do our best when we get tight We drink, we fight, if you drove us wild Why don't you slip away and your lives will be spared If you stand in way of immigrant's sons we'll put you into hell
