prefer this version!!
Lovely! two videos! I thank the both of kindly.:-)
Jem what is it that you like about the song?
It’s about a Downe’s Syndrome child as far as I know, Phil Coulters child I heard someone say. I might be wrong but it always brings a tear to my eye when I hear it. I love children, believe it or not but I was one meself many years ago.
You are quite right Jem.
Jem try listening to Stan Rogers - Light a Candle - he’s a Canadian folk singer and Luke Kelly reminded me of him - perhaps Sweetie Pie can get it up here - I’m having problems? - I think i need to workshop it!!! - she owes me one!!!
John Lennon Lyrics
“The Luck Of The Irish”
If you had the luck of the Irish
You’d be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you’d wish you was English instead!
A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!
If you could keep voices like flowers
There’d be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn
In the 'Pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
Of the pain, the death and the glory
And the poets of auld Eireland
If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like Galway Bay
Let’s walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would be one big Blarney stone
Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids the IRA
As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!
If you had the luck of the Irish
You’d be sorry and wish you was dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you’d wish you was English instead!
Yes you’d wish you was English instead!
We spend a long time pondering, seems it don’t do to have a long memory.
I do Gummy. You post songs for me, when I am on my phone.
I have never seen that before Young Robert.
It is very sad.
I always suspected there was something theatrical about Sweetie, although, she never made a song and dance about it.
Where is Gummy?
Oh yes he is poorly.
Good Night Possums

I’m well aware of that Gummy, but, it’s all about the recovery period, I would prognosticate my recovery period will be shorter because I don’t have the Complex strain.
