Текст песни: My Uncle Dan McCann + перевод

Well I lately wandered over here to look for my Uncle Dan

He left the town of Galway in the year of '51

Where he got to I don’t know

I’ve searched this country high and low

But back to Galway I can’t go

Without my Uncle Dan

So have you seen my Uncle Dan?

Typical bit of a Galwayman

Came out to the USA in the year of '51

If any of you neighbors living here

Have seen or heard of him anywhere

You’d oblige me if you’d help me find

My Uncle Dan McCann

Well let me tell you about my Uncle Dan

He thought he was a mighty man

Swam the River Liffey twice a day

He could run three laps of Phoenix Park

And dance and sing just like a lark

And he wasn’t afraid to go home in the dark

My Uncle Dan McCann

So have you seen my Uncle Dan McCann?

Typical bit of a Galwayman

Fought throughout the Civil War in the year of '61

He was supple and nimble in every joint

He wasn’t afraid of the bayonet point

He belonged to the right in '69

My Uncle Dan McCann

So have you seen my Uncle Dan?

Typical bit of a Galwayman

Came out to the USA in the year of '51

If any of you neighbours living here

Have seen or heard of him anywhere

You’d oblige me if you’d help me find

My Uncle Dan McCann

Well I found my Uncle Dan McCann

Very good for a shantyman

He has a seat in Congress, and the savior of his clan

He helps to write America’s laws

But his heart and soul is in Ireland’s cause

God help the man who opens his jaws

To my Uncle Dan McCann

So have you seen my Uncle Dan?

Typical bit of a Galwayman

Came out to the USA in the year of '51

If any of you neighbours living here

Have seen or heard of him anywhere

You’d oblige me if you’d help me find

My Uncle Dan McCann
