Smoke & Strong Whiskey - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

Kids wear white garters and smell like their mothers[00:00:16]

Whose husbands and fathers alike[00:00:19]

Drink black beer in the same public houses[00:00:22]

Smelling of smoke and strong whiskey [00:00:26]

Mammies and daddies skipping ropes[00:00:32]

Lectures from priests living in hope[00:00:36]

That they've not mistaken the brand of their coats[00:00:40]

They've paid for by spiritual teachings [00:00:43]

A busy year this streets running red[00:00:49]

How many sent to their nuptial bed[00:00:52]

And how many sent home to a winter of graves[00:00:56]

How many wait in for the slaughter [00:00:59]

Oh the holy ground[00:01:05]

Ceud mile failte there's saints[00:01:13]

And there's scholars to see[00:01:15]

Oh the holy ground[00:01:20]

The far away hills ain't as green[00:01:27]

As they once used to be[00:01:29]

It's Easter again and we cannot forget[00:01:42]

Brothers and sisters and all that was said[00:01:46]

So practise your pipes stand proud in the wet[00:01:49]

But the eyes of the world are upon you[00:01:53]

God in his mercy has given us men[00:01:58]

To lead us to peace but they can't bring an end[00:02:02]

To the profits that pay off the lease on the land[00:02:05]

We still send them over the water[00:02:09]

Seventeen years and Kelly is a man[00:02:15]

Who stands on the street with a gun in his hand[00:02:18]

It's protecting the pipers that play in the band[00:02:22]

While the enemy waits with an army[00:02:25]

Oh the holy ground[00:02:31]

Ceud mile failte there's saints[00:02:39]

And there's scholars to see[00:02:41]

Oh the holy ground[00:02:46]

The far away hills ain't as green[00:02:53]

As they once used to be[00:02:55]

Dia le hEireann suckle the empire[00:03:08]

Dia le hEireann suffer the loss[00:03:11]

Of the green to the blue while the media feeds[00:03:15]

On the blood and the pain and the hatred[00:03:18]

Father walks home on the colourless night[00:03:24]

And the organisation has blinded his sight[00:03:27]

His wife and his kids are sleeping tonight[00:03:31]

In the arms of sweet Jesus and Mary[00:03:35]

Oh the holy ground[00:03:40]

Ceud mile failte there's saints[00:03:48]

And there's scholars to see[00:03:50]

Oh the holy ground[00:03:55]

The far away hills ain't as green[00:04:02]

As they once used to be[00:04:04]

Oh the holy ground[00:04:09]

Ceud mile failte there's saints[00:04:16]

And there's scholars to see[00:04:19]

Oh the holy ground[00:04:24]

The far away hills ain't as green[00:04:31]

As they once used to be[00:04:33]

Oh the holy ground[00:04:38]

Ceud mile failte there's saints[00:04:45]

And there's scholars to see[00:04:47]

Oh the holy ground[00:04:52]

The far away hills ain't as green[00:05:00]

As they once used to be[00:05:02]

Oh the holy ground[00:05:07]
