Five Points
Lyricist:Kirwan Laurence T
D'ya remember back in the Five Points When the fire was in the air? The streets were hot as a hob of Hell The bodies' everywhere
An' Ol' Johnny jumped up on a burning plank Roared out to the sky 'I didn't come here to America To give up the ghost and die'
I didn't come here to America Across the raging foam To die like a slave in a pig sty I came here to find a home
Where I could live in dignity And hold me head up high So don't go messing with me or me family Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
Soldier boys are running wild Down by the Gates of Hell I must get to St. Patrick's Ring the warning bell
I won't join the bloody army Sooner burn down Kerosene Row So to Hell with your kings and your presidents Let them fight their own bloody wars, oh
Didn't come here to America Across the raging foam To die like a slave in a pig sty I came here to find a home
Where I could live in dignity And hold me head up high Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So don't go messing with me or me family Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
Don't say you love me Unless you really do I haven't got time to be wasting On the likes of you
Don't say you'll sleep with me Unless you'll follow through Them bully boys are closing in They'll be cracking heads for the price of gin But you better look out 'Cause here come the Boys in Green
D'ya remember back in the Five Points When the fire was in the air? Streets were hot as the hob of Hell The bodies' everywhere
Ol' Johnny stood up on a burning plank And he roared out to the sky ‽I didn't come here to America To give up the ghost and dieâ€
I didn't come here to America Across the raging foam To die like a slave in a pig sty I came here to find a home
Where I could live in dignity And hold me head up high So don't go messing with me or me family Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
So don't go messing with me or me family Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
