The Body of An American
SHANE PATRICK LYSAGHT MACGOWAN
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'
Then 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 shores where his father's laid
But 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 o'clock in the evening
Every bastard there was piskey
Fare thee well, going away
There's nothing left to say
Farewell to New York City boys, to Boston and PA
He took them out with a well-aimed clout
And we often heard him 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 until the fight was right
So they sent him to the war
Fare the well, gone away
There's nothing left to say
With a slainte Joe and Erin go
My love's in Ameri-kay
The calling of the rosary
Spanish wine 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 I'd come back to you one day
And as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill
I told you I'd always love you
I always did and I always will
Fare thee well gone away
There's nothing left to say
'But to say adieu to your eyes as blue as the water in the bay
And to big Jim Dwyer the man of war
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
The cadillac stood by the house
La Cadillac era accanto alla casa
And the yanks they were within
E gli yankee erano dentro
And the tinker boys they hissed advice
E i ragazzi del rigattiere sibilavano consigli
'Hot-wire her with a pin'
'Falle un ponte con uno spillo'
Then we turned and shook as we had a look
Poi ci voltammo e tremammo mentre guardavamo
In the room where the dead men lay
Nella stanza dove giacevano i morti
So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip
Così il grande Jim Dwyer fece il suo ultimo viaggio
To the shores where his father's laid
