Hello boys I've been away |
|
On a bit of a holiday |
|
To the land where the rivers freely flow |
|
And the cattle roam on the wild callagh |
|
Walking home three parts pissed |
|
I fell and rolled in the morning mist |
|
I fell and tumbled in the hungry grass |
|
That tells the tale of a terrible past |
|
I screamed and rolled and dreamt I fell |
|
Down in the depths of a freezing hell |
|
With a man coming up with the bugs inside |
|
Bouncing tooth in a skull that died |
|
We laughed to old times and the bad old days |
|
Gonna wrap me up and takin' me away |
|
Four million people starved to death |
|
Could smell the curse on their dying breath |
|
Where no one ever wants to go |
|
|
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
|
|
To Hell which is circular all around |
|
Down in the belly of the big cold ground |
|
The moving shadows were everywhere |
|
The very trees seemed to bend and stare |
|
I remembered the dunes on a Sligo shore |
|
Ran and screamed 'til I could run no more |
|
Over the hill and across the moor |
|
I ran in the house and slammed the door |
|
Just what the hell's that over there |
|
A putrefying corpse sitting in that chair |
|
One place I don't want to go |
|
|
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
|
|
Been drunk as a skunk since I've been home |
|
From bar to bar like a ghost I roamed |
|
I can't forget those things I saw |
|
Been down with the devil in the Dalling Road |
|
One place I don't want to go |
|
|
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
|
Down in the ground where the dead men go |
