| [00:32.04] |
I'm an Irishman |
| [00:32.68] |
|
| [00:34.05] |
Leather weathered Irish skin |
| [00:35.94] |
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag |
| [00:38.45] |
In the night sky we fly it in |
| [00:40.22] |
Pride for the life we fight to live |
| [00:41.86] |
History I write with it |
| [00:43.55] |
Spit it with the dialect |
| [00:44.92] |
And this is a celebration of course |
| [00:47.31] |
|
| [00:48.08] |
The green white orange |
| [00:50.45] |
|
| [00:51.05] |
And when they pulled up on that shore |
| [00:52.92] |
First generation born |
| [00:54.39] |
Toast to those that made it |
| [00:56.18] |
On a boat to New York |
| [00:57.54] |
And when the English |
| [00:58.43] |
Came the colonizer came |
| [01:00.12] |
|
| [01:00.73] |
They filled up bottles of gasoline |
| [01:02.30] |
|
| [01:02.82] |
Turned 'em into balls of flame |
| [01:04.53] |
And hurled 'em to protect what's ours |
| [01:06.17] |
Don't touch these lucky charms |
| [01:07.73] |
Whole bunch of Irish screaming |
| [01:09.28] |
"F**k the London Guard" |
| [01:10.57] |
|
| [01:11.35] |
I'm kidding not dissin' |
| [01:12.68] |
London this bloody war |
| [01:13.80] |
But go against the Irish |
| [01:15.50] |
And get a bloody jaw |
| [01:17.16] |
Preaching nonviolence |
| [01:18.64] |
But reminds of the scars |
| [01:20.11] |
And the bias put a pint up |
| [01:22.33] |
Everybody sing a song |
| [01:23.35] |
|
| [01:36.18] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:39.33] |
And live tonight |
| [01:39.90] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:42.03] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:44.27] |
That aren't with us |
| [01:45.53] |
And live tonight |
| [01:46.47] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:48.42] |
|
| [01:49.52] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:52.08] |
And live tonight |
| [01:52.87] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:55.03] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:56.98] |
That aren't with us |
| [01:58.25] |
And live tonight |
| [01:59.20] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [02:00.93] |
|
| [02:01.81] |
From New England to New Brunswick |
| [02:03.63] |
Galway to Dublin |
| [02:04.94] |
|
| [02:05.48] |
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers |
| [02:07.88] |
|
| [02:08.51] |
Heart blue collared workers and family |
| [02:10.98] |
|
| [02:11.51] |
My heritage proud to be a Haggerty |
| [02:14.55] |
Now with whiskey in our veins |
| [02:16.41] |
Claiming were the bravest men |
| [02:18.37] |
I drank Old Crow |
| [02:19.62] |
But pretended it was Jameson |
| [02:21.42] |
Dad sipped Guiness |
| [02:22.71] |
I sipped Old English |
| [02:24.24] |
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy |
| [02:26.29] |
This is what a beer is" |
| [02:27.42] |
|
| [02:28.13] |
I put down the drink |
| [02:29.37] |
Couldn't drink like a gentleman |
| [02:30.77] |
That doesn't mean |
| [02:31.83] |
I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em |
| [02:34.26] |
Challenge us in football |
| [02:35.66] |
Yeah we might lose |
| [02:36.91] |
But don't put us next to a bar stool |
| [02:39.48] |
|
| [02:41.27] |
We take the history script it in song |
| [02:43.38] |
Light the torch then you pass it on |
| [02:45.51] |
That's right I said |
| [02:47.29] |
Lineage through the rhythm |
| [02:48.43] |
We script it from the palm |
| [02:50.01] |
And we give til' Ireland is on |
| [02:51.80] |
Bottoms Up |
| [02:52.87] |
|
| [03:05.93] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [03:08.94] |
And live tonight |
| [03:09.96] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:11.89] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:13.92] |
That aren't with us |
| [03:14.74] |
|
| [03:15.28] |
And live tonight |
| [03:16.23] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:18.47] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [03:21.71] |
And live tonight |
| [03:22.50] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:24.18] |
|
| [03:24.98] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:26.94] |
That aren't with us |
| [03:28.13] |
And live tonight |
| [03:28.82] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:30.42] |
|
| [03:31.51] |
Let's go |
| [03:32.17] |
|
| [04:29.85] |
Glass to the sky and lift up |
| [04:32.53] |
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya |
| [04:35.49] |
So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us |
| [04:38.37] |
|
| [04:38.95] |
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya |
