The Reason I Left Mullingar - The Fureys/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]
I walked to your city a stranger[00:00:15]
In a land i can never call home[00:00:21]
And i cursed the sad notion that caused me[00:00:26]
In search of my fortune to rome[00:00:32]
I'm weary of working and drinking[00:00:36]
A week's wages just left in the bar[00:00:42]
And gods it's a shame for to use a friends name[00:00:47]
To beg for the price of a jar[00:00:53]
I remember that bright april morning[00:00:58]
When i left home to travel a far[00:01:03]
For to work till your dead for a room and a bed[00:01:08]
It's not the reason i left mullingar[00:01:13]
Oh this london's a city of heartbreak[00:01:19]
On friday there's friends by the score[00:01:24]
But when the pay's finished on monday[00:01:29]
A friend's not your friend anymore[00:01:35]
For a working day seems never ending[00:01:40]
From a shovel and pick there's no break[00:01:45]
And when your not working your spending[00:01:51]
That fortune you left home to make[00:01:56]
I remember that bright april morning[00:02:01]
When i left home to travel a far[00:02:07]
For to work till your dead for a room and a bed[00:02:12]
It's not the reason i left mullingar[00:02:17]
And for everyone here that finds fortune[00:02:33]
And comes home to tell of the tale[00:02:39]
Each morning the broadway are crowed[00:02:44]
With many's the thousant that failed[00:02:49]
So young men of ireland take warning[00:02:54]
In london you never will find[00:03:00]
The gold at the end of the rainbow[00:03:05]
For you might just have left it behind[00:03:10]
I remember that bright april morning[00:03:15]
When i left home to travel a far[00:03:21]
For to work till your dead for a room and a bed[00:03:26]
It's not the reason i left mullingar[00:03:31]
