I was raised F on Black and Tans, F
with Ronnie Drew,G and Van the ManF
FI go off to mass on Sunday
and then it's Gback to the pub on FMonday
I've Fgot a sister Meghan
with a GCeltic cross tattoo
I'll Ftell you a few stories
and every oFne of them is Gtrue
[[CHORUS]]
FMy mother's, brother's, sGister's, cousin's, auntie's
Uncle BFarney's, father's, brother had a cGounsin from KFillarney
FWell my great-grandda, and his mates
they tried to Gmake it to the SFtates
Fhis great uncle, he was a failure
he got deGported off to AustFralia
so they Fstowed upon a steamer
on the Gfamous White Star Line
I was Fraised upon these stories
since i Fwas the age of Gnine
[[CHORUS]]
FWell my great uncle, he liked the races
he liked the Gdogs and steeplecFhases
Fhis wife, my dear old auntie
she kept a Gteashop way, way down in FBantry
but he fFixed a race in Donegal
and Gnow he's got to hide
with the Fsticky buns and cakes and guns
and Fwhiskey on the Gside
[[CHORUS]]
