Pogues - Body Of An American Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The cadillac stood by the house
  • And the yanks they were within
  • And the tinker boys they hissed advice
  • 'Hot-wire her with a pin'
  • Then we turned and shook as we had a look
  • In the room where the dead man lay
  • So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
  • To the {shores} where his father's laid
  • Fifteen minutes later
  • We had our first taste of whiskey
  • There was uncles giving lectures
  • On ancient Irish history
  • The men all started telling jokes
  • And the women they got frisky
  • BY five o'clock in the evening - correction this line
  • starts with BY not AT
  • Every bastard there was {pisky} <slang meaning drunk>
  • Fare thee well going away
  • There's nothing left to say
  • Farewell to New York City boys
  • To Boston and PA
  • He took them out
  • With a well-aimed clout
  • He was often heard to say
  • I'm a free born man of the USA
  • He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
  • And he slashed him to the ground
  • He took on Tiny Tartanella
  • And it only went one round
  • He never had no time for reds
  • For drink or dice or whores
  • {But} he never threw a fight
  • When the fight was right
  • So they sent him to the war
  • Fare the well gone away
  • There's nothing left to say
  • With a sl?nte Joe and Erin go <adding the fada is not difficult>
  • My love's in Amerikay
  • They're calling out the rosary
  • Spanish wine from far away
  • I'm a free born man of the USA
  • This morning on the harbour
  • When I said goodbye to you
  • I remember how I swore
  • That I'd come back to you one day
  • And as the sunset came to meet
  • The evening on the hill
  • I told you I'd always love you
  • I always did {,} I always will
  • Fare thee well gone away
  • There's nothing left to say
  • 'cept to say adieu
  • To your eyes as blue
  • As the water in the bay
  • And to big Jim Dwyer
  • The man of wire
  • Who was often heard to say
  • I'm a free born man of the USA
