I Ever You Go To Dublin Town 歌詞
I Ever You Go To Dublin Town - The Dubliners
If you ever go to Dublin town
In a hundred years or so
Inquire for me in Baggot street
And what I was like to know
O he was the queer one
Fol dol the di do
He was a queer one
And I tell you
My great-grandmother knew him well
He asked her to come and call
On him in his flat and she giggled at the thought
Of a young girl's lovely fall
O he was dangerous
Fol dol the di do
He was dangerous
And I tell you
On Pembroke Road look out for my ghost
Dishevelled with shoes untied
Playing through the railings with little children
Whose children have long since died
O he was a nice man
Fol do the di do
He was a nice man
And I tell you
Go into a pub and listen well
If my voice still echoes there
Ask the men what their grandsires thought
And tell them to answer fair
O he was eccentric
Fol do the di do
He was eccentric
And I tell you
He had the knack of making men feel
As small as they really were
Which meant as great as God had made them
But as males they disliked his air
O he was a proud one
Fol do the di do
He was a proud one
And I tell you
If ever you go to Dublin town
In a hundred years or so
Sniff for my personality
Is it Vanity's vapour now
O he was a vain one
Fol dol the di do
He was a vain one
And I tell you
I saw his name with a hundred more
In a book in the library
It said he had never fully achieved
His potentiality
O he was slothful
Fol do the di do
He was slothful
And I tell you
He knew that posterity had no use
For anything but the soul
The lines that speak the passionate heart
The spirit that lives alone
O he was a lone one
Fol do the di do
O he was a lone one
And I tell you
O he was a lone one
Fol do the di do
Yet he lived happily
And I tell you
