Dropkick Murphys - I Had a Hat lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - I Had a Hat lyrics]
I hung it on the rack
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Or I’ll break somebody's back
Casey wore his brand new hat
To Murphy’s wake last night
Someone stole my hat boys
It started up a fight
Casey smashed the furniture
The radio as well
I nearly woke the corpse up
When he began to yell
I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Or I’ll break somebody’s back
I’m a peaceful, loving man, I am
And I don’t want to
Shout But, I had a hat when I came in
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Casey kept on shouting, boys
They couldn’t keep him quiet
Someone phoned the cops up to
Come and stop the riot
Two cops rushed into the room
But Casey laid them out
I fired ‘em through the window
They both heard Casey shout
I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Or I’ll break somebody’s back
I’m a peaceful, loving man, I am
And I don’t want to
Shout But, I had a hat when I came in
I’ll have a hat when I go out
I’m a peaceful loving man, I am
And I don’t want to shout
But I had a hat when I came in
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Casey kept on shouting, boys
Till One eyed Paddy Flynn
Socked me in the whiskers with
A great big rolling pin
It knocked poor Casey senseless
It was an awful clout
As he lay there unconscious
Casey shouted out
I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack
I’ll have a hat when I go out
Or I’ll break somebody’s back
I’m a peaceful, loving man, I am
And I don’t want to
Shout But, I had a hat when I came in
I’ll have a hat when I go out
I’m a peaceful, loving man, I am
(I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack I’ll have
A hat when I go out
I had a hat when I came in
I hung it on the rack I’ll have
A hat when I go out
Or I’ll break somebody’s back)
