"All We Love" lyrics

"All We Love"

Green and Orange
Black and White
Girls and Boys came back from Blithe
Jackie Charlton, Paul McGrath
Philo on the bass guitar
Mná na hÉireann and The Waterboys
Protestants, the Real McCoy
English Joe and Kiwi Jeff
Gone too early Paul Cunniffe

All we love and call our own
Make a list and keep it going
Put it all into a song
As Irish as the day is long

As Irish as a damp auld day
As Irish as black bales of hay
A town with all the shops closed down
Pub talk going round and round
Red haired sun burned freckled faces
Gateaux Cake, The Galway Races
The Leaving and the CAO
Tell them nothing at the door

All we love and call our own
Make a list and keep it going
Put it all into a song
As Irish as the day is long

Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow

Curried Chips, Harrys and Jacks
Flash the lights They're checking Tax
Super Sunday Could I stop?
I had to take the Monday off

Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow

Kimberley, Mikado and Coconut Creams
All the sweetness of your dreams
Half a cup, Ah sure I don't care
It's far from biscuits we were reared

All we love and call our own
Make a list and keep it going
Put it all into a song
As Irish as the day is long

All we love and call our own
Make a list and keep it going
Put it all into a song
As Irish as the day is long

Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow
Wow Wow Wow

As Irish as the day is long
