Ceilidh Cowboy

Shane MacGowan & The Popes

I am a ceilidh cowboy

I'm a stranger in this town

You should hear your women

squeal with joy

When I get their knickers down

I'll dance them and romance them

Til they're nearly out of breath

Then when I taken them out for air

I'll fuck them half to death



Been sitting on a fridge

close to the edge

Running out of coke

and dying for a poke

Don't lock up your wives

and daughters

Don't lock up your cats and dogs

I came down here

with my feet all bare

And I sleep in a hollow log



Yippee I oh

Yippee I ay

Yodle odle ee

Yodle odle ay

Yodle odle odle ay



My name is Father Emmett

I've been banished from my home

Cos all the women loved me

and I always had the bone

I could play the concertina, guitar, bouzouki and cittern

When I dance the Siege of Ennis

The floor beneath me starts to burn



For a jar or two just get me through

I'll do a turn for you ...

and absolve you too



I'll take care of your missus

All night long the whole night through

While you jump on that young one

over there

That's making eyes at you
