Laughing Boy is drowned, Sailed across the sea. Whisky was his daily bread, His like we'll never see, again. And you should have seen him dancing on the tables, It was just like a play. Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over, Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over. Laughing boy is drowned, Danced on nimble toes Angels wept at Caeser's head He sang the "Old Dark Rose" Sang it for free, Stay awhile, fill your gla**, have another, yeah (just like a play). Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over, Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over. Dublin streets are quiet tonight There's a shadow on the water Dublin streets are quiet tonight There's a shadow on the water... He can't stand up, He can't stay down, He wants to stay up, He wants to stay down, He hates himself, No, he hates a crowd He wants to be alone, No, he wants to be surrounded Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over, Laughing Boy, Laughing Boy it's over. Dublin streets are quiet tonight, There's a shadow on the water Walking on the water, walking on the water Walking on the water, walking on the water...
