Garryowen

 

Traditional

 

Key <C> or <G> or <A>

 

Let Bacchus sons be not dismayed

But join with me jovial blade

Come booze and sing lend me your aid

to help me with the chorus

 

(chorus)

Instead of spa we'll drink down ale

And pay the reckoning on the nail

No man for debt shall go to jail

From Garry Owen in glory

 

We are the boys that take delight in

Smashing the limerick lights when lighting

Through all the streets like sporters fighting

And tearing all before us

 

We'll break the windows we'll break the doors

The watch knocked down by threes and fours

Then let the doctor work their cures

And tinker up our bruises

 

We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun

We'll make the mayors and the sheriffs run

We are the boys no man dares dun

If he regards his whole skin

 

Our hearts so stout have got us fame

For soon tis known from whence we came

Where'ere we go they dread our name

Of Garryowen in glory
