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'[00:00:48]

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

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

So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip[00:01:00]

To the shores where his father's laid[00:01:05]

Fifteen minutes later[00:01:09]

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

There was uncles giving lectures[00:01:12]

On ancient Irish history[00:01:15]

The men all started telling jokes[00:01:17]

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

BY five o'clock in the evening correction this line[00:01:21]

Starts with BY not AT[00:01:23]

Every bastard there was pisky[00:01:24]

Fare thee well going away[00:01:26]

There's nothing left to say[00:01:27]

Farewell to New York City boys[00:01:28]

To Boston and PA[00:01:30]

He took them out[00:01:31]

With a well aimed clout[00:01:33]

He was often heard to say[00:01:34]

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]

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

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

So they sent him to the war[00:01:53]

Fare the well gone away[00:01:54]

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

With a slnte Joe and Erin go[00:01:58]

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

They're calling out the rosary[00:02:01]

Spanish wine 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[00:02:35]

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

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

I always did 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[00:02:50]

The man of wire[00:02:51]

Who was often heard to say[00:02:52]

I'm a free born man of the USA[00:02:54]

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

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