Текст песни: John O'malley + перевод

Hi my name is John O’Malley

I was born in the County Claire

sure I know to play the whistle

and I can dance like Fred Astaire

Take a look to Western Ireland

and you see where I belong

I am just an Irish bastard

but my heart is wild and strong

I’ve been working for the railway

I’ve been working at the docks

I’ve been fighting I’ve been drinking

I’ve been living with the dogs cause

I’m a bloody Irish bastard

far away from paradise

I’ve got trouble in my pockets

but a pair of friendly eyes

When I see the smoke is rising

on the hills behind the see

than I know the war is coming

time to fight for being free

I hear the stories of my father

they are running through my head

about the war in 67

about the rising of the dead

I was killed by twenty bullets

and I knocked on heaven’s door

and they said to me fuck off boy

cause your mother was a whore
