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 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-
