When the sun goes down o'er Dublin town
The colors last for hours, oh
The lights come on, the night's a song
And the streets all turn to
gold.
A gentle mist all heaven kissed
Like teardrops off an
angel's wing
Don't you know you'll cleanse your soul
With a walk in
the Irish rain.
Cho: Oh, Katherine, take my hand
I've
got three pounds and change
And I'll sing you songs of love again
And when I get too drunk to sing
We'll walk in the Irish
rain.
Forever more I've stepped ashore
My sailing days are
over, oh
Through time and tide and by your side
Together we'll grow
old.
I threw my sea bag in the bin
And brought these pretty
flowers home
Kiss me Kate, we'll celebrate
Before the bloom is
gone.
A tinker and a tailor and a drunken old sailor
They
all get together and they start to play
Time stands still while they sing
their fill
They'll shout 'til the break of day.
A sweet
little lady with a glass of stout
Sippin' it down 'til the foam runs
out
She'll help her old man home again
With a walk in the Irish
rain.
