the rumjacks – ‘eight beers’ mcgee lyrics
a true story & a tribute to the life of one young man, speak his name
with achin’ heart & steady hand
im puttin pen to paper father dear
i trust these words’ll find you
and pray that you can read ’em through your tears
they say a man thats born to sing
can scare away his woes
and banish all his anger & his pain
but the screamin’ jn my head
k!lled the singin’ in my soul
and i fear i’ll never recall the tune again
ive trouble with the sleepin’
my shadows weight impossible to bear
i hear my sister weepin’
and callin to me from that other where
the names o’ them i loved
are carved into my skin
the greatest crew a fightr ever had
they call us gypsy b+st+rds
and say it like its sin
that all our wars are merry
and all our songs are sad
tell em i went out dancin’ tell em i went to war
tell em whatever you want to all the same
its said a man dies first when hes parted wi’ his soul
and second when folk forget to speak his name
derry born & barely raised
id hardly bear to see the place again
’til in merrie bl++dy england
i found myself a brother to the end
its proper that youre grievin’
yer poorer for me leavin’
the best & fairest any given day
let matty, marco, luke & john
bless the slab im lyin on
kiss me +rs+ & send me on me way
a half a dozen monkeys
the devil sent to snap me o’er his knee
i slapped their filthy tongues back in their skulls
and did it laughin’ wickedly
smash the right & f+ck the left
i’ll curse em with my dyin’ breath
as bent as each t’other i would say
the only drum i march to is me irish bl++dy heart
kickin’ out against its brittle cage
