Matty - Christy Moore[00:00:02]

Matty went out on a frozen night[00:00:13]

Making heading for the pub his shoulders hunched up tight[00:00:15]

His head down on the railroad track[00:00:18]

And his old cow Delia sad lowin' him back[00:00:21]

He met with a dark and troubled man[00:00:25]

As he passed him by called back at him[00:00:28]

Hey Matty can't you see what's become of me[00:00:31]

In this country of the blind[00:00:34]

The house I've left is dead to me[00:00:37]

To me rhyming and my poetry[00:00:41]

All I've got is the beat of the stagger[00:00:44]

Heading down the Curragh Line[00:00:47]

But Matty passed on as quick as he could[00:00:51]

He couldn't stand such a crooked man sober[00:00:54]

All he wanted was the lights of the bar[00:00:57]

The Nightingale and the Wild Rover.[00:00:59]

When he came in[00:01:04]

They were sayin he was back[00:01:05]

OH did Delia drive you out[00:01:07]

With your spoutin' and your swearin'?[00:01:08]

We don't want to hear about Bunker Hayden[00:01:10]

Maybe you'll sing us the Girls of Kinkane.[00:01:13]

The fear an ti eyed him steadily[00:01:33]

As he handed him a pint of porter[00:01:36]

You must have seen the bishop's ghost tonight[00:01:38]

To put the dry look back in your eye.[00:01:41]

But Matty would not be taken in[00:01:45]

By their jibin' and their regalin'[00:01:48]

He found himself a fresh blown crew[00:01:51]

And fell in with their sportin' and their bailin'.[00:01:54]

As he was going home, in that very same spot[00:01:58]

He met his dark familiar[00:02:01]

He seen him comin' back down the line[00:02:05]

And he was bright and strange and fine.[00:02:08]

As he passed him by Matty threw out his arms[00:02:12]

Trying to grab hold of his likeness[00:02:16]

In the morning they found his frozen corpse[00:02:18]

And the butt of Curragh Line.[00:02:21]

And at the wake[00:02:26]

They were lashin' down[00:02:27]

The drops of brandy[00:02:28]

The old fashioned habit[00:02:32]

In the church they were lashin' down pounds and fivers[00:02:34]

So Matty would be fine in the old by and by.[00:02:36]
