lyrics

You know I saw my momma cry when I sailed across the sea
To the new world to see what's in store for me
I never again will see the Irish countryside
Or Sally Maclennane why she should have been my bride
All because I shot that British soldier twixt the eyes
-----
You know I don't feel like a terrorist I feel like a stout
My brother's IRA but me I'd rather gad about
That British soldier touched my Sally Maclennane
He shouldn't even be here so I shot that prick and ran
To the states one day I'll bring my
Sally here to me
I will make my home where the whiskey won't run dry
-----
One misty day in Canton Sally came to me
I kissed her on her soft pink lips and held her close to me
Then she through me on the bed and kicked me in the spleen
It turns out all along Sally was working for the queen
She asked if I had any last words before I died
And I said
"John MacKaye am I
And I'm proud I shot that British soldier right between the eyes!"
