Come gather round me, Parnellites, And
praise our chosen man; Stand
upright on your legs awhile, Stand
upright while you can, For
soon we lie where he is laid, And
he is underground; Come
fill up all those glasses And
pass the bottle round. And
here’s a cogent reason, And
I have many more, He
fought the might of England And
saved the Irish poor, Whatever
good a farmer’s got He
brought it all to pass; And
here’s another reason, That
Parnell loved a lass. And
here’s a final reason, He
was of such a kind Every
man that sings a song Keeps
Parnell in his mind. For
Parnell was a proud man, No
prouder trod the ground, And
a proud man’s a lovely man, So
pass the bottle round. The
Bishops and the party That
tragic story made, A
husband that had sold his wife And
after that betrayed; But
stories that live longest Are
sung above the glass, And
Parnell loved his countrey And Parnell loved his lass. |
