The Curragh Song (Shadowers)
guitar chords lyrics
When I look back now at my finest hour, when I was young and mad when I still had the power, when we lived and played in the shadow of the Towerin the Curragh.
There were Burkes and Brownes, O'
Reillys and O'
Sheas,
Shanahans and Houlihans, O'
Sullivans and Sheridans,
Sweenys, Murphys, Farrells and Mooresin the Curragh.
We all did our best at the National School, you sat up straight and try to learn the rules.
The chalk and the dusters and the pencils flewin the Curragh.
My family lived in the hospital grounds, and early in the morning you could hear the soundof the rangers going by and their boots would pound'
We are Rangers ...'4.
In Mc
Donagh or Pearse, Connolly or Ceannt,
Plunkett or Clarke or anywhere you went, there were soldiers, nurses, priests and cursesin the Curragh.
There was Dobbinses and Macinteers, Easons and Maginns,
Donagh or Pearse, Connolly or Ceannt,
Plunkett or Clarke or anywhere you went, there were soldiers, nurses, priests and cursesin the Curragh.
There was Dobbinses and Macinteers, Easons and Maginns,
Powells, the Wes or the Church for your sinsand Reggie done the hair that everyone would wearin the Curragh.
6.
The kids ran around with their hoops and their sticks, the bell rang loud for the Angelus at six, and the soldiers kissed the girls in the dark at the Flicsin the Curragh.
There were privates, sergeants officers, cadets,
Unimogs and tanks we hadn't any jets,
BQ's, CQ's and GQ'sin the Curragh.
8.
Oh the concrete walls of the handball alleys
Soldiers all sweatin?
clocking up a tally, and the kids all watching waiting for the bottlesin the Curragh.
We'd run off to Sandes with the bottles in our hands, where we'd haul in our prize with a glint in our eyes, bullseyes in bags or a couple of fagsin the Curragh.
