rose of erin - joe strummer lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
now way down in a woken town
where the boys you might find
some happy and some sad
and some drunk all around

[chorus]
the breeze is blowin’ em up home
the door is shakin’ in the wind
and that’s when the boys will sing
the rose of erin

[verse 2]
well, she waited for the new railroad
rolling right to get into town
you could see she was ready for the show
when she came waltzing down

[verse 3]
who’s that singing in the alley?
i stepping all across the floor
she became a new sensation
everybody screamed for more

[verse 4]
with teardrops on the bone
she drinks from the mountain stream
they say it was the nightingale
that gave her the voice to sing
[verse 5]
now she burned all the flowers at her door
sent by gangsters and candidates
how many thought she was living with the lord
kept her picture like a saint

[verse 6]
’til one winter night in chicago
in a cheap caymon saloon
she blew a model hole in her love
and blasted away from the room

[verse 7]
the door handle revolver
was found lying in the snow
when she left one daughter
in a bag of cali gold

[verse 8]
she must have lost herself in new orleans
and cleared the light of j*panese
oh, the world is teeming down in old hong kong
and the drifters leaped across the china sea

[chorus]
let the breeze blowin’ ’em up home
and the door’s a shakin’ in the wind
now that’s when the boys will sing
to the rose of erin
[outro]
when it’s late at night
to the rose of erin
when it’s really late at night
to the rose of erin
