[Verse 1]
CGather ’round, ye lads and lasses, Fset ye for a wChile
And hearken to me mournful tale aGbout the Emerald Isle
CLet’s all raise our glasses high to Ffriends and family Cgone
And lift our voices in another GIrish drinking Csong
ConCsumption took me mother and me Ffather got the Cpox
Me brother drank the whiskey ’til he Gwound up in a box
My Cother brother in the Troubles Fmet with his deCmise
My sister has forever closed her Gsmiling Irish Ceyes
   [Chorus]
     Now Ceverybody’s died
     So unFtil our tears are dried
     We’ll Cdrink and drink and drink and drink,
     and then we’ll drink some mGore
     We’ll dCance and sing and fight
     until the eFarly morning light
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
[Verse 2]
CKen was killed in Kilkenny and ClFaire, she died in CClare
Tip from Tipperary died out in the GDerry air
CShannon jumped into the River ShFannon back in CJune
Ernie fell into the Erne, and GTom is in the TCoome
C“Cleanliness is godliness” me FUncle Pat would Csing
He broke his neck a’slippin’ on a Gbar of Irish Spring
CO’Grady, he was 80 though his Fbride was just a Cpup
He died upon the honeymoon when she Ggot his Irish Cup
   [Chorus]
     Now Ceverybody’s died
     So unFtil our tears are dried
     We’ll Cdrink and drink and drink and drink,
     and then we’ll drink some mGore
     We’ll dCance and sing and fight
     until the eFarly morning light
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
[Verse 3]
Joe CMurphy fought with Reilly near the Fbanks of old DConeen
He took out his shillelagh and he sGtabbed him in the spleen
CCrazy Uncle Mike thought he Fwas a lepreCchaun -
In fact he’s just a leper, and his Garms and legs are Cgone
CWhen Timmy Johnson broke his neck it Fwas a cryin’ Cshame
He wasn’t really Irish, but he Gwent to Notre Dame
CMcNamara crossed the street and Fby a bus was Chit
But he was just a Scotsman, so Gnobody gave a sCh-ARRGHH
   [Chorus]
     Now Ceverybody’s died
     So unFtil our tears are dried
     We’ll Cdrink and drink and drink and drink,

     until the eFarly morning light
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
[Verse 4]
Me Cdrunken Uncle Brendan tried to drFive home from the bCar
The road rose up to meet him when he Gfell out of his car
CIrony was what befell my grFeat-grand Uncle SCam
He choked upon the very last poGtato in the lCand
CConnor lived in Ulster town, he Fused to smuggle Carms
Until the British killed him and cut Goff his lucky charms
And Cdear old Father Flanagan, who Fleft the lord’s emCploy
Drunk on sacramental wine, beGneath the altar Cboy
   [Chorus]
     Now Ceverybody’s died
     So unFtil our tears are dried
     We’ll Cdrink and drink and drink and drink,
     and then we’ll drink some mGore
     We’ll dCance and sing and fight
     until the eFarly morning light
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
[Bridge]
CSomeday soon I’ll leave this world of Fpain and toil and Csin
The Lord will take me by the hand to Gjoin all of me kin
Me Conly wish is when the Savior cFomes for me and Cyou
He kills the cast of Riverdance, and GMichael Flatley Ctoo
   [Final Chorus]
     Now Ceverybody’s died
     So unFtil our tears are dried
     We’ll Cdrink and drink and drink and drink,
     and then we’ll drink some mGore
     We’ll dCance and sing and fight
     until the eFarly morning light
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
     Then we’ll throw Cup, pass out, wake up, and then go Gdrinking once aCgain
