The Irish Rovers - 40 Years a-Rovin'

A Long Time Ago

We can drink a keg of bother and still, be one to mourn
We'd sing and play all night until they throw us out the door
And we'd greet the rising sun as it set the sky aglow
While rolling with the lassies there a long time ago

A long time ago
A long time ago
For we're the boys who made the noise a long time ago

We can fight and not be beaten
The likes you've never seen
Our cry was no surrender
And God help who came between
We'd rise and stand together
When stormy winds did blow
'Twas all for one and one for all a long time ago

A long time ago
A long time ago
For we're the boys who made the noise a long time ago

We've sung old Ireland's glory
The laughter and the tears
The immigrants and the heroes, and the shameful famine years
Winsome girls and soldiers who fought the common foe
We sang the songs of Ireland boys a long time ago

A long time ago
A long time ago
For we're the boys who made the noise a long time ago

So, here's to dear old Ireland and here's to rambling around
And here's to friends and foes alike who wonder where we're bound
We're older but no wiser, but this we'll have yes-no
We're still the boys who made the noise a long time ago!

A long time ago
A long time ago
For we're the boys who made the noise a long time ago
A long time ago
A long time ago
For we're the boys who made the noise a long time ago, woo!
