Well I’ve Cnot been honest daFrling, no I’ve noGt been straight at alAml
Well, I bCeg your parFdon; the night we jGumped McCormack’s WFall
I was so hCappy just to Fbe with you, I wGould have said anything at aAmll
Now I could scCream your name, tFill you do the same,
But I Gknow you won’t rFespond
(slow)
Well, heGre we are. What’s thFere to do?
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, del dGai del dai del dAmo
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, I’m gonna rGide black riFver
With the lCark in the mForning and the Gdew upon the dAmawn
Well, a-hCome we came a-cFrawling with our siGckness and our sFong
CFor all guitar makFers; for the prisGoners and the lAmaw
And to the Cfine wine dFrinkers who dGrank their bellies Fraw
And to aCll the good samFaritans, whGoever found us in the dAmark
And to alCl who’ve been or cFome between the lovGers in the pFark
And to aCll the Ó Díomasaigh Fsingers with their rGoots in holy groAmund
And forgiCveness still liFngers in the beGlls above the tFown
(slow)
Well, heGre we are. What’s thFere to do?
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, del dGai del dai del dAmo
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, I’m gGonna ride black Amriver
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, del dGai del dai del dAmo
Dai dal daCi, dai dal dFai, I’m gonna rGide black riFver
(pause)
Well, this iCs a song of drFinking,
And for a drGink it will be sAmung,
And I’ll sCing it right, and I’ll sFay goodnight
Unless they're sGerving another oFne

And to all the good samaritans, whoever found us in the dark

And forgiveness still lingers in the bells above the town
