Shamrock City Lyrics by Irish Descendants

We Are the Irish Descendants

0

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City
Where the girls of Limerick are much too pretty;
Joe Cooley's Reel on accordion
Like the blues with the touch of O'Carolan

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City
On the banks of the Hudson, the Thames, and the Liffey;
Some are sober wearing Pioneer pins
Some drink like fish you can see their fins

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

[Interlude]

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City
Young man, this is Mikey -- Hey! Have you seen Kitty?
My love she sailed across the foam
I ain't had no lover since she's been gone

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge

On the edge of the Shamrock City

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City
They all play for nothing so put something in the kitty;
I threw up with a wolfhound's bark
Threw it a bone, it took me to heart

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

Livin' on the edge
Livin' on the edge
On the edge of the Shamrock City

There's a band tonight down in Shamrock City
