The Pogues, The Dubliners - Jack's Heroes lyrics
[The Pogues, The Dubliners - Jack's Heroes lyrics]
They wear green and they are beautiful
Their hearts are filled with love
They're as pure as any lily and
As gentle as the dove
They sing and cheer in harmony 'til
Their throats are cracked and sore
But there is no doubt you'll hear
Them shout when Jackie's heroes score
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
They'll come from Dublin and from Cork
From dear old Donegal
From London, Boston, and New York
From anywhere at all
From Parramatta to Fermoy
Strabane to Skibereen
And will the shout go up when the
World Cup is raised on Stephens Green?
Yes, it will!
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
And when we're there in Italy
On Sardinia's sunny shore
We'll be the boys you'll want to see
The boys you'll all adore
We'll play like perfect gentlemen
To win, to lose, to draw
For we're here to take the World
Cup to Paddy's shamrock shore
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Their hearts are filled with love
They're as pure as any lily and
As gentle as the dove
They sing and cheer in harmony 'til
Their throats are cracked and sore
But there is no doubt you'll hear
Them shout when Jackie's heroes score
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
They'll come from Dublin and from Cork
From dear old Donegal
From London, Boston, and New York
From anywhere at all
From Parramatta to Fermoy
Strabane to Skibereen
And will the shout go up when the
World Cup is raised on Stephens Green?
Yes, it will!
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
And when we're there in Italy
On Sardinia's sunny shore
We'll be the boys you'll want to see
The boys you'll all adore
We'll play like perfect gentlemen
To win, to lose, to draw
For we're here to take the World
Cup to Paddy's shamrock shore
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
Too ra-loo, too ra-loo
And we'll follow Jack's heroes
Whatever they do
