Fiddler's Green - Irish Air lyrics

In Irish air you smell the sea The taste of turf and tasty tea The scent of stout will ever be A part of Ireland's heart A Blacksmith down from Dingle Bay He lived his live a special way He lost his wife and house I'd say But still the best is left A carpenter from Inishee Discovered his ability To live from love and air, you see A quit his boring job A Businessman from Waterford Sat on his ship completely bored Till someone threw him overboard He shivered in the cold ...but he was well! ...got strong like hell! ...he found his way! ...swam all the day! In Irish air you smell the sea The taste of turf and tasty tea The scent of stout will ever be A part of Ireland's heart, Cause In this air The clouds glow red in the sky ahead and Everywhere You'll find a place to start A fisherman from k**ybegs A grumpy man, he always nagged Till he turned out to be a wag And laughed his life away A teacher from the eastern Hills He smoked like hell, took lot of pills Till he discovered the real thrills He bummed around and bawled In Irish air you smell the sea The taste of turf and tasty tea The scent of stout will ever be A part of Ireland's heart, Cause In this air The clouds glow red in the sky ahead and Everywhere You'll find a place to start A lawyer from the western coast He was a lousy party host But then he stopped with all his boast And changed into a mate A baker boy from Donegal A weedy guy, extremely small Ate soda bred till he was tall And grew right to the sky An engineer from Galway Town Was fat and clearly upside down He went around wearing a gown He didn't give a damn ...he loved his dress! ...felt happiness! ...he danced around! ...and lost eight pounds! In Irish air you smell the sea The taste of turf and tasty tea The scent of stout will ever be A part of Ireland's heart, Cause In this air The clouds glow red in the sky ahead and Everywhere You'll find a place to start
