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
