If iCt's drink you want Fand plenCty of feediGng 
And Fyou like the bed Gas wellC  
GraCb the wife, Fthrow the Ckids in the DatsGun
MakFe for Inch and the StraGnd hoteCl
If Ctalk of turf dFrives you cCrazy
And Cyou can't face Fa bale of Ghay
MakCe for Foley'Fs work the tCopshelGf talk Fpuck, pints Gand the GAAC  
CHORUS
CaCsey, Casey youF're the divCil
WhCen you get behinFd the wheGel
It was Ca sad day Ffor Cthe Kerry sGheepdogFs
                         C          G    F- C  
When your Firestones they did feel
Oh the low road goes from Killorglin all the way down to Annascaul
When Casey came to guide us he never used his brakes at all
A trail of sheepdogs littered Kerry from Killorglin to Macroom
He might have been all soul's salvation but he also was the sheep dog's doom
From the holy dioceses of Galway Eamonn went to London town
Where the traffic cops out on their duty they overtook and flagged him down
As he was tearing after luncheon around the city like a loon
Regardless to his rank and station they forced him to blow up their auld balloon
Geographically he was in limbo faced with justice true and true
No obligations were accepted he was rightly up the flue
No bolt of lightning from the heaven could remove the boys in blue
Well he wished the force that had worked at Cana would turn his wine into water too
CHORUS
When Ronnie Reagan came to Ireland all the wankers made a great furore
But Eamonn remembered bishop Romero said he'd even up the score
Casey Casey said "God willin' I'll meet Reagan on the road
Niall O'Brien will hear his confessions when I've taught him the Green Cross Code"
Casey Casey you're the right man to teach them Yankees right from wrong
If it wasn't for yourself and Reagan there wouldn't be much to Martin Egan's song
CHORUS

It was a sad day for the Kerry sheepdogs

When your Firestones they did feel

Oh the low road goes from Killorglin all the way down to Annascaul
