JIMMY

Jimmy won't you please come home
Where the grass is green and the buffaloes roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim and your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft

Now there's buffalo Jim and buffalo Jim
And Jim buffalo now didn't you know
Jim Jim Jimmy its your last cigarette
But there's buffalo piss, it's all kind of wet
Jambo Jimmy you'd better hold your nose
All roads lead to roam with the buffaloes

And the Buffaloes used to say be proud of your name
The Buffaloes used to say be what you are
The Buffaloes used to say roam where you roam
The Buffaloes used to say do what you do

Well you've gotta have a wash but you can't clean your name
You're not called Jimmy you'll be Jimmy just the same

The keys are in the bag in the chest by the door
One of Jimmy's friends has taken the floor
Jimmy won't you please come home
Where the grass is green and the buffaloes roam
Dear old Jimmy you've forgotten you're young
But you can't ignore the buffalo song

And the Buffaloes used to say be proud of your name
The Buffaloes used to say be what you are
The Buffaloes used to say roam where you roam
The Buffaloes used to say do what you do
If you remember you're unknown
Buffaloland will be your home

Galway girl

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk Of a day-i-ay-i-ay I met a little girl and we stopped to talk Of a fine soft day-i-ay   And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do? Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then, I'd be taking a whirl Around the Salthill prom with a Galway girl   We were halfway there when the rain came down Of a day-i-ay-i-ay She asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-i-ay   And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do? Because her hair was black and her eyes were blue I took her hand and I give her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl   When I woke up, I was all alone With a broken heart and a ticket home And I ask you now, tell me what would you do? If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 'Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world Boys, I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl

Boys on the docks

Say hey Johnny boy The battle call United we stand, divided we fall Together we are What we can't be alone We came to this country You made it our home This man so humble This man so brave A legend to many He fought to his grave Saved family and friends From the hardship and horror In a land of depression He gave hope for tomorrow Say Johnny me boy This one's for you With the strength of many And the courage of few To what do we owe this man Who's fight was for the masses He gave his life Say hey Johnny boy The battle call United we stand, divided we fall Together we are What we can't be alone We came to this country You made it our home A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime He'd give you a job And he'd give you his time He wasn't a crook But he couldn't be conned Jon knew the difference between right and wrong Say Johnny me boy You live here no longer Others forgotten Your memory's stronger Let's drink to the causes in your life,.
