Sliabh(een) na mBan<\/p>\n
A loan all a loan by the wave-washed strand
\nAnd alone in a crowded hall
\nMore interest I will pay as they gave me eight grand
\nBut my bank account is not here at all<\/p>\n
It lies far away on islands where I stay
\nIn accounts where the statements are all gone
\nBut I never will forget the Manchester 27 that I met
\nIn the Four Seasons nowhere near Sliabh na mBan<\/p>\n
In a Manchester Hall as me friends watched on,
\nand me cap passed around the group,
\nOh Miriam me luv me money’s all gone,
\nand I now know I’m deep in the soup.
\nMc Dowell is on the ball, so I’ll have to tell all,
\ncould I say “West life gave me the few bob?
\nHave a word with the girls, or Jases pawn those pearls,
\notherwise I’m out of a job.<\/p>\n
It lies far away on islands where I stay
\nIn accounts where the statements are all gone
\nBut I never will forget the Manchester 27 that I met
\nIn the Four Seasons nowhere near Sliabh na mBan<\/p>\n
