I am a true Irish man but there i wasn’t born
I’m living here in places far across the native foam
I’d like to sit and have a drink and tell ya of me day
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
i went to see me girlfriend in the morning she says to i
Ah go away ya traitor for you’ll tell to me no lies
You scorned me name with nothing but shame
with your bed on your back
Get on your bike and hit the road i wont be taking ya back
I am a true Irish man but there i was’t born
I’m living here in places far across the native foam
I’d like to sit and have a drink and tell ya of me day
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
I went inside a session from night to early morn
The music got inside me heart me soul it had to play
Inbetween the fiddle and the fluet put a smile upon me face
and the emptines inside me heart the music did replace
Well I may travel far and wide and wonder off astray
But and irishman its in his heart and there will always stay
I’ll bring the spirit with me
And wonder far away and i’ll bring it back again
And then i might just stay
I am a true Irish man but there i was’t born
I’m living here in places far across the native foam
I’d like to sit and have a drink and tell ya of me day
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
I am a true Irish man but there i was’t born
I’m living here in places far across the native foam
I’d like to sit and have a drink and tell ya of me day
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
i am what i am and they do not give a damn
