Crowns Of England Lyrics And Chords
Crowns Of England Lyrics And Chords By The Mary Wallopers in the same key the group play the song in.
[D]The butcher's apron [G]wavin' in the [D]fragrant [G]London [Bm]smog
Just [D]makes me want to [G]go beyond a-[D]workin' in the bog
Their eyes get wide as I [G]start to sing, the[D] songs of [G]Fenian [Bm]men
And [D]they don't know if [G]they should clap, or [D]throw me out again
[Chorus]
For [G]all the crowns in [D]England
I [G]couldn't quench my [D]thirst
I [G]wandered back to [D]Dundalk town
The [G]place that quenched it [D]first
Winston's little smushed up face and beady little eyes
Look down at me from his golden frame, with a face full of despise
There's no photos of Maggie or Pеcker on the walls
The lads ovеr here don't sing or dance, they just watch football
They come from every county, they traded in their boots
The army and the navy are gettin' new recruits
I said, "My name's Charles Hendy and I come from Dundalk town
And when I see your George's Cross, I want to pull it down!"
And when I'm far from Erin's shore
And I hear the piper's drone
I close my eyes and step on-board
And in no time I'm home
Just [D]makes me want to [G]go beyond a-[D]workin' in the bog
Their eyes get wide as I [G]start to sing, the[D] songs of [G]Fenian [Bm]men
And [D]they don't know if [G]they should clap, or [D]throw me out again
[Chorus]
For [G]all the crowns in [D]England
I [G]couldn't quench my [D]thirst
I [G]wandered back to [D]Dundalk town
The [G]place that quenched it [D]first
Winston's little smushed up face and beady little eyes
Look down at me from his golden frame, with a face full of despise
There's no photos of Maggie or Pеcker on the walls
The lads ovеr here don't sing or dance, they just watch football
They come from every county, they traded in their boots
The army and the navy are gettin' new recruits
I said, "My name's Charles Hendy and I come from Dundalk town
And when I see your George's Cross, I want to pull it down!"
And when I'm far from Erin's shore
And I hear the piper's drone
I close my eyes and step on-board
And in no time I'm home
