The Body Of An American - The Pogues[00:00:00]

The cadillac stood by the house[00:00:35]

And the yanks they were within[00:00:39]

And the tinker boys they hissed advice[00:00:43]

'Hot-wire her with a pin'[00:00:47]

We turned and shook as we had a look[00:00:52]

In the room where the dead men lay[00:00:56]

So big jim dwyer made his last trip[00:01:00]

To the home where his father's laid[00:01:04]

Fifteen minutes later[00:01:09]

We had our first taste of whiskey[00:01:11]

There was uncles giving lectures[00:01:13]

On ancient irish history[00:01:14]

The men all started telling jokes[00:01:16]

And the women they got frisky[00:01:18]

By five o'clock in the evening[00:01:20]

Every bastard there was pissed[00:01:22]

Fare thee well going away[00:01:24]

There's nothing left to say[00:01:26]

Farewell to new york city boys[00:01:28]

To boston and pa[00:01:29]

He took them out[00:01:31]

With a well-aimed clout[00:01:32]

He was often heard to say[00:01:33]

I'm a free born man of the usa[00:01:35]

He fought the champ in pittsburgh[00:01:39]

And he slashed him to the ground[00:01:41]

He took on tiny tartanella[00:01:43]

And it only went one round[00:01:44]

He never had no time for reds[00:01:46]

For drink or dice or whores[00:01:48]

And he never threw a fight[00:01:50]

Unless the fight was right[00:01:52]

So they sent him to the war[00:01:52]

Fare the well gone away[00:01:53]

There's nothing left to say[00:01:56]

With a slainte joe and erin go[00:01:57]

My love's in amerikay[00:01:59]

The calling of the rosary[00:02:01]

Spanish winde from far away[00:02:03]

I'm a free born man of the usa[00:02:05]

This morning on the harbour[00:02:27]

When I said goodbye to you[00:02:29]

I remember how I swore[00:02:31]

That I'd come back to you one day[00:02:32]

And as the sunset came to meet[00:02:34]

The evening on the hill[00:02:36]

I told you I'd always love you[00:02:38]

I always did and I always will[00:02:40]

Fare thee well gone away[00:02:42]

There's nothing left to say[00:02:43]

'Cept to say adieu[00:02:46]

To your eyes as blue[00:02:47]

As the water in the bay[00:02:48]

And to big jim dwyer[00:02:49]

The man of wire[00:02:50]

Who was often heard to say[00:02:51]

I'm a free born man of the usa[00:02:53]

I'm a free born man of the usa[00:02:57]

I'm a free born man of the usa[00:03:00]
