[00:00.06]Irish Boy - Patty Griffin
[00:00.81]Well, I danced in the arms of a black carry girl
[00:05.31]
[00:06.25]In the scully square after the war
[00:09.06]
[00:11.69]And I drank to get drunk and I sank and I stump
[00:16.06]Like a drunk on a subway floor.
[00:18.62]
[00:20.74]And I never did marry Cathy O'Shade
[00:25.00]
[00:25.88]She met another and they went their way.
[00:29.49]
[00:31.19]To the wind, you're a joy, just a drunk irish boy
[00:35.75]Just a face in the crowd, I'll be back around
[00:40.56]To show you all something someday.
[00:42.54]
[00:53.72]There are some things that must remain secret
[00:58.04]You can find no good reason to tell
[01:02.48]There's too many men telling their secrets these days
[01:06.05]
[01:07.23]And I like to tell them to all go to hell.
[01:11.36]So I never had dreams that they never came true
[01:16.23]As far as you know, anyway.
[01:18.13]
[01:21.13]To the wind, you're a toy, just a drunk irish boy,
[01:25.44]Just a face in the crowd, I'll be back around
[01:29.88]To show you all something some day.
[01:32.82]
[01:33.94]Gonna be big, gonna be big to the highest of trees
[01:38.38]
[01:39.25]We used to climb my brother and me.
[01:43.13]
[01:44.00]High on the limbs, two laughing hyenas,
[01:48.63]Over was Struckberry's cemetery.
[01:53.69]
[01:57.32]To the wind you're a toy, just a slim irish boy,
[02:03.51]
[02:04.19]Coming back home from a war.
[02:07.44]
[02:08.63]Just a face in the crowd, just a drunken out loud,
[02:12.82]Just don't try looking down, cause I'll be back around
[02:17.69]
[02:19.38]To show you all something someday
[02:22.55]
[02:25.86]To show you all something someday.
