"Dublin O'Shea" lyrics
"Dublin O'Shea"
Have another drink, boys. Well, have one with me
We're home from the sea. Yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor
He lived on the dockside near Liverpool town
And he always went down to the "Thief and the Vagabond"
Everyone knew him as Dublin O'Shea
Some say he came from Killarney
Have another drink, boys. Well, have one with me
We're home from the sea. Yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor
I sing of an Irishman honest and plain
But what's in a name when you think of the man himself?
He was a sinner and he drank with the same
And he mastered the fine art of blarney
Have another drink, boys. Well, have one with me
We're home from the sea. Yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor
He was a lay preacher and a God-fearin' man
With a drink in his hand. What a terrible sinner!
He'd drink with the Devil and spit in his eye
Then go to confession on Friday
Have another drink, boys. Well, have one with me
We're home from the sea. Yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor
For ramblin' and rovin' there's none to compare
If you'd met him you'd swear that the man was a saint
But if you could just see him in some foreign bar
You'd swear he was the High King of Ireland
Have another drink, boys. Well, have one with me
We're home from the sea. Yes, we're back on the shore
And if you get too drunk, boys, in this company
You'll roar 'round Cape Horn on the Rory O'Mor

The Real McKenzies - "Barrett's Privateers" Oh, the year was 1778, how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

Shovel as much as the engine...
