Текст песни Muirshin Durkin (The Phil Kennedy Show) [March 1985] [Live] - The Pogues

In the days when I was courtin', I was seldom done resortin'
In the alehouse and the playhouse and many the house between
So I told me brother Seamus, I'll go off and get right famous
And when I come back home again, I'll have seen the whole wide world

And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no more be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of digging praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

Farewell to all the girls at home, I'm bound away across the farm
Off to seek me fortune in far Amerikay
There's silver there a-plenty for the poor and for the gentry
And when I come back home again, I never more will say

Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no more be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of diggin' praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

And it's goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, I'll no more be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of diggin' praties, I'll be digging lumps of gold

Goodbye, Muirshin Durkin, I'm sick and tired of workin'
I'll no more dig the praties, no more be a fool
For as sure as me name is Carney, I am bound for California
Instead of diggin' praties, I'll be diggin' lumps of gold
