Old Irish Wake
I hope they had an old Irish wake
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder but now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
My children can recite every line of that song
They learned it when they were young
I'd stand in the kitchen and I'd bang on my guitar
And they'd sing at the top of their lungs
That's why I hope they had an old Irish wake
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder but now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
There's a debt here that I'd like to repay
For that song that's from back in the past
It's not about the lyrics and it's not about the notes
It's just thanks for the memories you wrote
That's why I hope they had an old Irish wake
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder and now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder but now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
My children can recite every line of that song
They learned it when they were young
I'd stand in the kitchen and I'd bang on my guitar
And they'd sing at the top of their lungs
That's why I hope they had an old Irish wake
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder but now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
There's a debt here that I'd like to repay
For that song that's from back in the past
It's not about the lyrics and it's not about the notes
It's just thanks for the memories you wrote
That's why I hope they had an old Irish wake
For the man who wrote the West Country Lady
He lived over yonder and now he's gone home
To be dancing on a far brighter stage
