Flogging Molly - Life Is Good

The Last Serenade (Sailors And Fishermen)

Sailors and fishermen
Go down to the harbour where many a good soul's set sail
But the ships they have gone with the hake and the cod, never to return again
With our nets lives are torn without a captain forevermore

On our boards requiem haunt the waves with no hands upon deck
And the love waving back, oh, darlin' we've lost our way

So, hail to the sailors and fishermen
And hail to their last serenade

Thinkers and travellers
Born to our caravans, ivy grows wild around their door
Like the horse and the cart
There's no turning back, so, welcome to our fixed abode

They say a song's never done while the song's still being sung
But our voice with the road disappears
Our traditions now spent with no cash for the rent
Left standing with no place to go

So hail to the sailors and fishermen
And hail to their ghost that remain

So, goodbye to you dreamers, vagabonds and true believers
Long may you sing once again
I said long may you sing once again

Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life
Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life
Li

May this life take you there! (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life take you there! (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life (may this life) (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life (may this life), take you there (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)

May this life take you there (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life take you there (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life (may this life) (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)
May this life (may this life) take you there (li, li, li, li, li, li, li, life)

Ah, hail to the sailors and fishermen
And hail to their ghost that remain
So, goodbye to you dreamers, you vagabonds and true believers
Long may you sing once again

I said goodbye to you dreamers, you vagabonds and true believers
Long may you sing once again
