John Lennon & Yoko Ono - the Luck on the Irish

John Lennon with Yoko Ono

If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you were dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!

A thousand years of torture and hunger
Drove the people away from their land
A land full of beauty and wonder
Was raped by the British brigands! Goddamn! Goddamn!

If you could keep voices like flowers
There'd be shamrock all over the world
If you could drink dreams like Irish streams
Then the world would be high as the mountain of morn

In the 'Pool they told us the story
How the English divided the land
Of the pain, the death and the glory
And the poets of auld Eireland

If we could make chains with the morning dew
The world would be like Galway Bay
Let's walk over rainbows like leprechauns
The world would be one big Blarney stone

Why the hell are the English there anyway?
As they kill with God on their side
Blame it all on the kids the IRA
As the bastards commit genocide! Aye! Aye! Genocide!

If you had the luck of the Irish
You'd be sorry and wish you was dead
You should have the luck of the Irish
And you'd wish you was English instead!
Yes you'd wish you was English instead!

THE REAL LYRICS ARE 'as the bastards commit genocide' John changed it to 'As the bummers commit genocide'...you couldn't say bastards on t.v. back in 1972

I replied to Iman but smth`s rong with my computer. I still love John & (especially) Jeorge Harrison.But tell me people why Yoko continues disturbing McCartney after His forgiving her? By the way, Nancy McCartney is beautiful & pregnant... & Sir Paul does everything for Nancy & their baby. Yoko, give Japan back to Japanese!!! Let McCartney give Ireland Back to The Irish!!!

[Iman12345ish]

God bless him, AN AWESOME MAN.

[kaitlinan]

yoko could sing that is true but by no means was she a musician or artist, she didn't even like rock 'n' roll. She has no real feelings for music.

Fuck the Brits. Kill them where they stand. But hey, what difference do they make anymore, if Argentina decides to take back the Falklands, the English cunts won't be able to fight back without America's help. Fucking truly pathetic.

[vedmischa]

I miss him. Thanks to anyone remembering John.
