Our Man in Europe/davedelacroix/High Noon in Piacenza, No. 12: The Irish Rover


(dedicato: Johnny Nallen; owner of NALLEN'S Irish pub, Denver, Colorado, USA)


Goodbye Brendan, and farewell Sean?
Our time was short, our days forlorn?
But still I'll remember and NO-NEVER forget;
green fields of France
and those towns I loved so well.

They tell me, westward, there's a Fair
over in County Clare,
and if you're worth your "stuff"
I'll be sure to see you right there?
So kiss me Maggie, and kiss me Dermot;
for just where I am bound
no-one wants to know.

A Cardinal sin, gives the breath of Life.
Hold onto your loved ones, hold onto your wife.
And beat the drum slowly:
NO-NEVER, no more!"
You travellers, who pass on by?
Say a "kaddish" for me
and I'll wish you a prayer.

Goodbye Brenden, and farewell Sean?
Our time was short, our days forlorn?
But still I'll remember and NO-NEVER forget;
those green fields of France
and the towns we loved so well...

"SLANGIER!"
