Luck Of The Irish If you had the luck of the Irish You'd be sorry and wish you were dead You should have the luck of the Irish And you'd wish you was English instead! A thousand years of torture and hunger Drove the lucky people have to leave their homeland A land full of beauty and wonder Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn! Goddamn! If you had the luck of the Irish And you'd wish that you was English instead! Go away, go away.
