The Hell Fire Club, (Acoustic Version)
There is a hill where the devil played poker
He tempted poor souls to their fate
And on it a building which held in their meetings
And one night it went up in flames
Over hills, over rivers
The red and white chimneys too
She stands now with her brother
And they drink as they take in the view
She had to leave us she couldn't stay
She was so strong and she was so brave
She knitted her love into hats that She'd make
And search for mementos or something she'd take
She went all over from Greece to Florida
Our She She spent time in L.A
As duties arose, her whole life was her oyster
She made it the best She could taste
Under Peel Tower, three baby boys
Under Manchester, a nurse to us all
And up top the moors, She'd dog walk galore
And dance through the evening and dance through her ward
She doesn't miss me, She's still right here with me, She danced on the day of her wake
A mother, a daughter, the wife of my father
And life of a party till late
So say "feck me", not "oh bother"
Say "thank you" and "please" don't be rude
And "take your time to find your lover
And make sure that She's perfect too"
She held up her hands, She said "Lord lift me in"
She lived every moment, She'd do it again
And we drink to remember and never forget
Our She was the best thing that we ever had
So I,
sing my silly songs in memory of my Mam
"Sweetest little Sheelagh", oh everyone sang
And they'd say, "you're the best", She'd say "you're right, I am"
Earth poisoned her lungs but her soul's still here fine
Over mountains, over Dublin
Over red and white chimneys too
She stands there with her brother
And one day we'll join them both too
She had to leave us, She couldn't stay
She was so kind, She was so fecking great
Under Peel Tower, three older boys
And under the windmills, a nurse to us all
She doesn't miss me, She's still right here with me, She danced on the day of her wake
A mother, a daughter, the life of my father
And life of the party till late
Over mountains, over Dublin
Over red and white chimneys too
She stands there with her brother
And one day we'll all join them too
She had to leave as She couldn't stay
She was so strong, She was so fecking great
Under Peel Tower, three older boys
And under the windows, a nurse to us all
She doesn't miss me, She's still right here with me, She danced on the day of her wake
A mother, a daughter, the wife of my father
And life of the party till late
He tempted poor souls to their fate
And on it a building which held in their meetings
And one night it went up in flames
Over hills, over rivers
The red and white chimneys too
She stands now with her brother
And they drink as they take in the view
She had to leave us she couldn't stay
She was so strong and she was so brave
She knitted her love into hats that She'd make
And search for mementos or something she'd take
She went all over from Greece to Florida
Our She She spent time in L.A
As duties arose, her whole life was her oyster

A mother, a daughter, the wife of my father
And life of the party till late
