    he was called. he served. he is counted!
  • muhtesem bir the pogues sarkisi. ahanda buyrun sozleri :

    the cadillac stood by the house
    and the yanks they were within
    and the tinker boys they hissed advice
    hot-wire her with a pin
    we turned and shook as we had a look
    in the room where the dead men lay
    so big jim dwyer made his last trip
    to the home where his fathers laid

    fifteen minutes later
    we had our first taste of whiskey
    there was uncles giving lectures
    on ancient irish history
    the men all started telling jokes
    and the women they got frisky
    by five oclock in the evening - correction this line
    starts with by not at
    every bastard there was piskey

    fare thee well going away
    theres nothing left to say
    farewell to new york city boys
    to boston and pa
    he took them out
    with a well-aimed clout
    he was often heard to say
    i'm a free born man of the usa

    he fought the champ in pittsburgh
    and he slashed him to the ground
    he took on tiny tartanella
    and it only went one round
    he never had no time for reds
    for drink or dice or whores
    and he never threw a fight
    unless the fight was right
    so they sent him to the war

    fare the well gone away
    theres nothing left to say
    with a slainte joe and erin go
    my loves in amerikay
    the calling of the rosary
    spanish winde from far away
    i'm a free born man of the usa

    this morning on the harbour
    when i said goodbye to you
    i remember how i swore
    that id come back to you one day
    and as the sunset came to meet
    the evening on the hill
    i told you id always love you
    i always did and i always will

    fare thee well gone away
    theres nothing left to say
    cept to say adieu
    to your eyes as blue
    as the water in the bay
    and to big jim dwyer
    the man of wire*
    who was often heard to say
    i'm a free born man of the usa
    i'm a free born man of the usa
    i'm a free born man of the usa
