| [00:41.400] |
I'm an Irishman |
| [00:43.340] |
Leather weathered Irish skin |
| [00:45.310] |
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag |
| [00:47.640] |
In the night sky we fly it in |
| [00:49.620] |
Pride for the life we fight to live |
| [00:51.260] |
History, I write with it |
| [00:52.640] |
Spit it with the dialect |
| [00:54.320] |
And this is a celebration of course |
| [00:57.410] |
The green, white, orange |
| [01:00.250] |
And when they pulled up on that shore |
| [01:02.090] |
First generation born |
| [01:03.650] |
Toast to those that made it |
| [01:05.380] |
On a boat to New York |
| [01:06.700] |
And when the English |
| [01:07.730] |
Came the colonizer came |
| [01:09.830] |
They filled up bottles of gasoline, |
| [01:12.140] |
Turned 'em into balls of flame |
| [01:13.730] |
And hurled 'em to protect what's ours |
| [01:15.260] |
Don't touch these lucky charms |
| [01:16.870] |
Whole bunch of Irish screaming |
| [01:18.940] |
"Fuck the London Guard" |
| [01:20.890] |
I'm kidding not dissin' |
| [01:22.110] |
London, this bloody war |
| [01:23.380] |
But go against the Irish |
| [01:25.050] |
And get a bloody jaw |
| [01:26.750] |
Preaching nonviolence |
| [01:27.920] |
But reminds of the scars |
| [01:29.400] |
And the bias, put a pint up |
| [01:31.240] |
Everybody sing a song |
| [01:39.030] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:41.880] |
And live tonight |
| [01:43.070] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:45.120] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:46.950] |
That aren't with us |
| [01:48.310] |
And live tonight |
| [01:49.160] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:51.550] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [01:54.730] |
And live tonight |
| [01:55.650] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [01:57.940] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [01:59.760] |
That aren't with us |
| [02:01.110] |
And live tonight |
| [02:01.920] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [02:04.820] |
From New England to New Brunswick |
| [02:06.240] |
|
| [02:06.800] |
Galway to Dublin |
| [02:08.090] |
A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers |
| [02:11.420] |
Heart, blue collared workers and family |
| [02:14.550] |
My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty |
| [02:17.290] |
Now with whiskey in our veins |
| [02:19.320] |
Claiming were the bravest men |
| [02:21.100] |
I drank Old Crow, |
| [02:22.440] |
But pretended it was Jameson |
| [02:24.250] |
Dad sipped Guiness, |
| [02:25.810] |
I sipped Old English |
| [02:27.140] |
'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy, |
| [02:29.570] |
This is what a beer is" |
| [02:30.920] |
I put down the drink, |
| [02:32.080] |
Couldn't drink like a gentleman |
| [02:33.920] |
That doesn't mean |
| [02:34.690] |
I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em |
| [02:37.020] |
Challenge us in football, |
| [02:38.610] |
Yeah we might lose |
| [02:40.000] |
But don't put us next to a bar stool |
| [02:42.870] |
|
| [02:44.170] |
We take the history, script it in song |
| [02:46.350] |
Light the torch then you pass it on |
| [02:48.910] |
That's right I said, |
| [02:50.160] |
Lineage through the rhythm |
| [02:51.550] |
We script it from the palm |
| [02:52.860] |
And we give til' Ireland is on |
| [02:54.500] |
|
| [02:55.090] |
Bottoms Up |
| [02:55.990] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [02:58.770] |
And live tonight |
| [02:59.870] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:02.010] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:03.940] |
That aren't with us |
| [03:05.180] |
And live tonight |
| [03:06.090] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:08.440] |
We put our glass to the sky and lift up |
| [03:11.710] |
And live tonight |
| [03:12.580] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:14.880] |
So raise a pint for the people |
| [03:16.650] |
That aren't with us |
| [03:18.090] |
And live tonight |
| [03:18.900] |
'Cause you can't take it with ya |
| [03:21.290] |
Let's go |
| [03:21.940] |
|
| [03:22.600] |
Hey~ |
