[Verse 1]
GThey laid out the body
In that Cpeaceful pagan Ghome
EmTo pay their last Crespects
GAll the neighbours Dcame Calong
GIn the wee hours of the morning
Pagan Cwords from a whisky Gstill
EmFall in from the Cbushes
GSworn enemies are Dfriends Cagain
GSomeone spilt Porter on the corpse
In the Cmiddle of a Gsong
EmAnd the stories kept on Ccoming back
From G19D41C
[Chorus]
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CSail on, Jimmy Gboy D
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CFrom this Irish DPagan rituaGl
[Verse 2]
GMad Mary from the crossroads
Grabbed my Carse for all to Gsee
EmI'll tell your fortune CScoby
GIf you come on Dhome with Cme
GIn the name of God now Mary
Some Crespect for the Gdead
EmYou can't be grabbing Carses
GAt a Pagan DritualC
[Chorus]
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CSail on, Jimmy Gboy D
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CFrom this Irish DPagan rituaGl
[Verse 3]
GFather Tim is telling Tommy
How the CIsraelites came Gin
EmAnd Tommy's eating Csandwiches
GThat are piled up Dnext to Chim
GSomeone started singing
Ah CRevenge for GSkibereen
EmThere's a French lad there Ctranslating
EmFor the next door neighbours Cdaughter
GJean Louis and lovely DAngeliCe
[Chorus]
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CSail on, Jimmy Gboy D
CSail on, sail on GJimmy D
CFrom this Irish DPagan rituaGl
[Verse 4]
GIn the wee hours of the morning
We were Chowling at the Gmoon
EmWhen the Mystic wind took CJimmy
GWay up to the DMystic Croom
GUp up up up up he's gone
In Cpeace to save us Gall
EmGone with a Mystic Cblessing
GFrom that peaceful DPagan Critual
