[00:08.17]Here's to the Ronnie, the voice we adore
[00:12.18]Like coals from a coal-bucket, scraping the floor
[00:16.40]Sing out his praises in music and march
[00:19.93]And if you are not Irish, that isn't your fault
[00:27.21]Raise up our voices like dogs in a pack
[00:31.2]Thankful for honest man, we never lack
[00:34.77]We got them by twenties, we got them by ones
[00:38.57]Them and their daughters, and all of their sons
[00:43.4](Hey! Hey!)
[00:44.28]Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
[00:47.29]Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
[00:50.9]Ronnie Drew (Hey! Hey!), we love you, yes we do
[01:11.77]Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you
[01:20.76]I watched them plenty, through right and 'er wrong
[01:24.56]Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true
[01:28.37]But as she lifted her petticoat easy and slow
[01:32.27]I rolled up my sleeves for to buckle her shoe
[01:40.52]Get up and work from five until five
[01:43.76]When the whistle says better, we'll come back alive
[01:47.53]He'll sing to the heavens, he's stormy as hell
[01:51.55]And wherever he goes, we'll be wishing him well
[01:55.94](Hey! Hey!)
[02:02.2]Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
[02:09.33](Hey!) Here's to you (Hey!), Ronnie Drew (Hey!)
[02:17.39]Ronnie Drew (Hey!), we love you, yes we do
[02:25.39]Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you
[02:33.65]The dawn and the dusk, the unwise, the unjust gives and gets him gaze
[02:40.93]The unheard, the unseen, the unwashed, and the clean where the streets all have names
[02:49.8]Baggot Street, meets the street right on St. Stephen's Street lovers and loners who can peer on your shoulders
[02:56.96]The gods and the rapers, immigrants and traders, sing about him
[03:05.4]A man for a man and a hand for a hand
[03:09.23]Trust in the music, strike up the band
[03:12.63]The more that we sing, the less that we find
[03:15.96]Time and again, this is brood to be right
[03:19.98]Build you a statue on St. Stephen's Green
[03:24.7]No fairer monument there to be seen
[03:27.94]A statue of Ronnie Drew, holding the hand
[03:31.77]Of a girl with her hair in a black velvet band
[03:35.97](Hey! Hey!)
[03:42.19]Here's to you (No stranger to dare), Ronnie Drew (Or angels to devil)
[03:49.31]Here's to you (A friend of a friend of a friend of a), Ronnie Drew (A friend to you)
[03:57.20]Ronnie Drew (Ronnie Drew), we love you, yes we do
[04:05.59]Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you
[04:13.66]Here's to you, Ronnie Drew, here's to you (Ronnie Drew)
[04:35.3]I watched them plenty, through right and 'er wrong
[04:38.34]Whether I'm easy or whether I'm true
[04:42.34]But as she lifted her petticoat easy and slow
[04:46.17]I rolled up my sleeves for to buckle her shoe
