Текст песни Joxer Goes to Stuttgart - Christy Moore
It
was
in
the
year
of
eighty-eight
in
the
lovely
month
of
June
When
the
gadflies
were
swarmin',
dogs
howlin'
at
the
moon
With
rosary
beads
and
sandwiches
for
Stuttgart
we
began
Joxer
packed
his
German
phrase-book
and
jump
leads
for
the
van
Well,
some
of
the
lads
had
never
been
away
from
home
before
'Twas
the
first
time
Whacker
set
his
foot
outside
of
Inchicore
Before
we
left
for
Europe
we
knew
we'd
need
a
plan
So
we
all
agreed
that
Joxer
was
the
man
to
drive
the
van
In
Germany
the
Autobahn
'twas
like
the
long
mile
road
There
was
every
kind
or
car
and
van
all
carryin'
the
full
load
Ford
Transits
and
Hiace's
and
a
ould
Bedford
from
Tralee
With
engine
over
heatin'
from
long
haulin'
duty-free
There
were
fans
from
Ballyfermont,
Ballybough
and
Ballymun
On
the
journey
of
the
lifetime
and
the
crack
was
ninety-one
Joxer
met
a
German's
daughter
on
the
banks
of
the
river
Rhine
And
he
told
her
she'd
be
welcome
in
Ballyfermont
anytime
As
soon
as
we
got
to
Stuttgart
we
put
the
wagons
in
a
ring
Sean
og
got
out
the
banjo,
Peter
played
the
mandolin
There
was
fans
there
from
everywhere
attracted
by
the
sound
At
the
first
Fleagh
Ceoil
in
Europe,
Joxer
passed
the
flagon
round
But
the
session
it
ended
when
we
finished
all
the
stout
The
air
mattresses
inflated
and
the
sleepin'
bags
rolled
As
one
by
one
we
fell
asleep
poor
Joxer
had
a
dream
He
dreamt
himself
and
Jack
Charlton
sat
down
to
pick
the
team
Joxer
dreamt
they
agreed
on
Packy
Bonner
straight
away
And
Morn,
Whelan
and
McGrath
were
certainly
to
play
But
tempers
they
began
to
rise,
patience
wearing
thin
Jack
wanted
Cascarino,
but
Joxer
wanted
Quinn
Then
the
dream
turned
into
a
nightmare,
Joxer
stuck
the
head
in
Jack
Who
wanted
to
bring
Johnny
Giles
and
Eamon
Dunphy
back
When
the
cock
crew
in
the
morning,
it
crew
both
loud
and
shrill
Joxer
woke
up
in
his
sleepin'
bag
many
miles
from
Arbour
Hill
The
next
morning
none
of
the
experts
gave
us
the
slightest
chance
They
said
the
English
team
would
lead
us
on
a
merry
dance
With
Union
Jacks
all
them
English
fans
for
victory
were
set
Until
Ray
Houghton
got
the
ball
and
stuck
it
in
the
net
What
happened
next
was
history,
brought
tears
to
many
eyes
That
day
will
be
the
highlight
in
many
people's
lives
Well
Joxer
climbed
right
over
the
top
and
the
next
time
he
was
seen
Was
arm
and
arm
with
Jack
Charlton,
singin'
revenge
for
Skibbereen
Now
Whacker's
back
in
Inchicore,
he's
livin'
with
his
mam
And
Jack
Charlton
has
been
proclaimed
an
honorary
Irish
man
Do
you
remember
the
German's
daughter
on
the
banks
of
the
river
Rhine
Well
didn't
he
show
up
in
Ballyfermont
last
week
and...
