bill white and gwyn jones - In the Irish bars of London

from MESH (5​-​Song EP) by Bill White and Friends

lyrics

The fighting was strong in Dublin
You taught me the rebel songs
In the Irish bars of London
We sang to carousing throngs
In time we fell in love
And lost our fighting zeal
Left the Irish bars of London
And with them, our ideals

But the craic was always good and hearty
And every night felt like a party
You on the bodhran and mandolin
Me singing with you and glowing within

And so, we sailed to Boston
Across the Atlantic Sea
When your feet touched Eastern sand
Your heart pulled away from me
You knew inside your Irish heart
Our love could never be
In the Irish bars of London
Lie my heart's memories

For the craic was always good and hearty
And every night felt like a party
You on the bodhran and mandolin
Me singing with you and glowing within

Whether patriots or traitors
Depends on our first vows
If we fought once for freedom
What do we fight for now
What was lost along the way
Somewhere remains true
In the Irish bars of London
I'm still in love with you

When the craic was always good and hearty
And every night felt like a party
You on the bodhran and mandolin
Me singing with you and glowing within
