Seldom Sober Lyrics

Oh sing a song for Ireland my young love said to methe hills of Connemara Banks of my lovely Leeso I tuned up my fiddle in the town of Ballybayoh sing for me and think of me she mournfully did saysure I'm an Ulster Orangeman from Erin's Isle I camepure old Dicay Riley I'm still haunted by your nameI am a little beggarman and beggin' I have beenin Dr. Johnson's motorcar I'll take you home Kathleen.I've been a wild rover and I've been seldom soberdrank many of pints topped up with foamI tramped the world over from Brisbane to Doverbut I long to be back home.Limerick you're a lady in the marry month of mayas I rode out to Galway-Town me heart is growing greyIf I were King of Ireland and all things at my willI followed Captain Farrell and young Eamonn of the hilla long way to Tipperary a long way from Clare to herenow I curse the time it takes to reach my Cavan girl so fairtis of a brave young highwayman this story I will tellyou may talk and write and boast about and bid your last farewellI've been a wild rover and I've been seldom soberdrank many of pints topped up with foamI tramped the world over from Brisbane to Doverbut I long to be back home.REPEAT 2x
