Font:      
Align:    
  • The body of an american
  • 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
  • We turned and shook as we had a look
  • In the room where the dead men lay
  • So big jim dwyer made his last trip
  • To the home where his fathers 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 oclock in the evening - correction this line
  • Starts with by not at
  • Every bastard there was piskey
  • Fare thee well going away
  • Theres 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
  • Im 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
  • And he never threw a fight
  • Unless the fight was right
  • So they sent him to the war
  • Fare the well gone away
  • Theres nothing left to say
  • With a slainte joe and erin go
  • My loves in amerikay
  • The calling of the rosary
  • Spanish winde from far away
  • Im a free born man of the usa
  • This morning on the harbour
  • When I said goodbye to you
  • I remember how I swore
  • That Id come back to you one day
  • And as the sunset came to meet
  • The evening on the hill
  • I told you Id always love
  • I always did and I always will
  • Fare thee well gone away
  • Theres 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
  • Im a free born man of the usa
