CAPO ON 2nd
When Friday comes around he s only into fighting
My ma would like a letter home but I m too tired for writing
Chorus:
It s a long long way from Clare to here
A long long way to he-ere
A Long way, it gets further day by day
Long way from Clare to here
Oh there s four who share the room as we work hard for the brass
And getting up late on Sundays I never get to Mass
-Chorus-
It almost breaks my heart when I think of Josephine
I promised her I d be coming home with pockets full of green
-Chorus-
And the only time I feel alright is when I am into drinking
It eases off the pain of it and levels out my thinking
-Chorus-
I dream I hear a piper play or maybe it s a notion
I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean
-Chorus-
