Lyrics Sean (Nicky Campbell BBC Radio Session, 6 January 1989) - The Proclaimers

Sean I'd say the best one came
From Tupelo, Mississippi
I'll tell you now that grown men cry
And Irish girls are pretty

Sean I'd say the best one came
From Tupelo, Mississippi
I'll tell you now that grown men cry
And Irish girls are pretty

Uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh
Aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh

Though fear and hurt and care
Can lead me to despair
I saw why I'm here
The morning you appeared

Sean, I sat awhile on clouds
To ask God if he's living (Aye)
I should have spent some time on knees
In thanks for what he's given
(What he's given, given, given, given, given, given, given, given, given, given)

Uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh
Aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh, aye uh

From parents smart and strong
To both of us passed on
From kings is where you come
Through daughters and through sons
Through daughters and through sons

Sean I'd say the best one came
From Tupelo, Mississippi
I'll tell you now grown men cry
Irish girls are pretty
