Dublin Lullaby - Lyrics - Captain Tractor

Captain Tractor is a Canadian folk rock band, based in Edmonton, Alberta. They play a punk-influenced variant of Celtic folk music, similar to such bands as Great Big Sea, The Pogues or Spirit of the West. Their songs are often rich in local, cultural, and geographical references.

CHORUS: We're gonna drink and fight, and drink and fight, and drink and fight some more. When the drinking's done grab anyone and go and fight some more. So grab your friends and neighbours and punch 'em in the eye, And raise another glass and sing the Dublin lullaby O'Leary was a ***. I gave his head a crack. I drank a pint of Guinness And puked all over his back. Oh Johnus he was sickened With Patty in the back. When Irish eyes are smiling We'll punch 'em 'till they're black. CHORUS O'Leary and O'Connell Had been drinking pretty hard. Been sitting for a fortnight With Clancy at the bar. He got so stewed that when he spewed We swore he must've drowned. So we kicked his ***, raised a glass And bought another round. CHORUS Well, I went out with O'Leary To old MacDonald's wake. We drank a lot of Stone Ale And ate a lot of cake. O'Malley singin' "Danny Boy" And filled my eyes with tears So I kicked his nuts right into his guts And had another beer. CHORUS X3 8-$
