Lyrics
I had a dream last night about a man whose land was taken away
I had a dream last night about a man whose land was taken away
His wife died and he packed up and left for Amerikay
I dreamed of some Irishmen working deep down in the mines
I dreamed of some Irishmen working deep down in the mines
They joined the Molly Maguires and they were killed or they did time
I dreamed Denny lost his job and was looking for work in Boston, Mass
I dreamed Denny lost his job and was looking for work in Boston, Mass
The boss said "no Irish need apply", so Denny just kicked his ass
I dreamed some peaceful marchers were demanding justice one Sunday
I dreamed some peaceful marchers were demanding justice one Sunday
The British soldiers shot them and thousands joined the IRA
I woke up this morning craving Guinness and Tulemore Dew
I woke up this morning craving Guinness and Tulemore Dew
I had a lowdown case of those Dead Irish Blues
