The PoguesThe Pogues (1 fan) The PoguesThe Pogues are a Celtic punk band from London, formed in 1982 and fronted by Shane MacGowan. The band reached international prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. MacGowan left the band in 1991 due to drinking problems but the band continued first with Joe Strummer and then with Spider Stacy on vocals before breaking up in 1996. The band reformed in 2001, and has been playing regularly ever since, most notably on the US East Coast around St Patrick's Day and across the UK and Ireland every December. The group has yet to record any new music and, according to Spider Stacy on Pogues.com, has no inclination to do so. more » Year:2002 4:25429 Views Playlists:#1 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great SingerThe Cadillac stood by the house And the yanks they were within And the tinker boys they hissed advice 'Hot-wire her with a pin' So we turned and shook as we had a look In the room where the dead men lay So big Jim Dwyer made his last trip To the land where his father's laid But fifteen minutes later We had our first taste of whiskey There was uncles giving lectures On ancient Irish history The men all started telling jokes And the women they got frisky At five o'clock in the evening Every bastard there was piskey Fare thee well Farewell to New York City boys To Boston and PA He took them out With a well-aimed clout He was often heard to say I'm a free born man of the USA He fought the champ in Pittsburgh And he slashed him to the ground He took on Tiny Tartanella And it only went one round He never had no time for reds For drink or dice or whores And he never threw a fight Unless the fight was right So they sent him to the war Fare thee well With a slainte Joe and Erin go My love's in Amerikay The calling of the rosary Spanish wine from far away I'm a free born man of the USA This morning on the harbour When I said goodbye to you I remember how I swore That I'd come back to you one day And as the sunset came to meet The evening on the hill I told you I'd always love you I always did and I always will Fare thee well Accept to say adieu To your eyes as blue As the water in the bay [incomprehensible] [incomprehensible] I'm a free born man of the USA Free born man of the USA Free born man of the USA Free born man of the USA The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.comWritten by: SHANE PATRICK LYSAGHT MACGOWAN Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group Lyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind CitationUse the citation below to add these lyrics to your bibliography:Missing lyrics by The Pogues?Know any other songs by The Pogues?
