The Irish Drinking Song (feat. The Gammy Fluthers)
It was Christmas in Kirkubbin
1991
The boys were mashin' whiskey
And the girls are drinkin' rum
And though the holly green was hangin'
And the mistletoe was hung
I couldn't sleep that Christmas 'til the deed was done
I said
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea!
So I stepped out from the merriment
Found a soldier by the dam
I took out both me knuckles
And I said "fight me like a man"
And he tried to calm me senses
But I was fuckin' gone
So I took out a fuckin' hatchet
And I cut off both his arms
I said
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Now just remember before this next part
I'm actually a really good guy in my personal life
So I ripped out all his organs
As I cursed the Queen and King
Me eyes rolled back into me head
And I couldn't feel a thing
And I bet they could hear me screamin'
Down in County Cork
I went
Yaa-oh-la!
Hey li-deedle-lee-die-dum
And we said
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea
So I came back to the party
Soldier's head in hand
The boys they stopped a-dancin'
And they quieted the band
I said this is for the Republic
But my work here isn't done
And I gave that English soldier's head to Colin
My only son
And we said
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Everybody!
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea
Li-dee-die-dee-dee-dum
Li-dee-die-dee-dee
Kill a fuckin' Englishman
And throw him in the sea!
