Testo Mother Mo Chroí - Shane MacGowan & The Popes
Testo della canzone Mother Mo Chroí (Shane MacGowan & The Popes), tratta dall'album The Crock of Gold
It was 1962, I was two years out of school
When I got on board a boat that was bound for Liverpool
The day we sailed away, I remember it so well
Took a look at the North Wall and bid a fond farewell
It's a hard thing to leave the land of your childhood
Touched by the rivers and kissed by the sea
The places you played with your childhood companions
To leave dear old Ireland and Mother MacCree
Though I'm going far away and I may never return here
There's one thing I always will keep within me
Deep in my heart, a furious devotion
To love of old Ireland and Mother MacCree
Though I'm going away and I may never return here
There's always one thing that I will keep within me
Deep in my heart, a furious devotion
To love of old Ireland and Mother MacCree
From the top of the Pinnacle Road, I saw the sun setting
The town laid out before me looked beautiful to me
Away from all the sighing, the suffering and the dying
The dreams of the future, the young and the free
But the years, they go by quickly, now I know I can't remain here
For each day brings me closer to that final misery
My kids will never scrape shit round here
And I won't die crying in a pint of beer
I'm going back to Ireland and Mother MacCree
