[Verse 1] From Galway roads to Boston town A little pub kept spirits up Sarsfield’s name went travelling round Now stories gather in the cup A place for voices, plain and clear For questions no one else would host With old friends meeting year by year And every teller raising toast [Chorus] Come on in to the virtual pub Pull up a chair, let the talking run From Galway rain to the Boston harbour Many voices, but the welcome’s one Come on in to the virtual pub Bring your questions, bring your view Keep it lively, keep it decent There’s a room here waiting for you [Verse 2] The forums changed, the doors swung wide Some names moved on, some names remained Through every shutdown, side by side The stubborn spark was still maintained Youngdan’s radio crossed the air Old interviews and voices known A simple screen, a wooden chair Can make a far-off place feel home [Chorus] Come on in to the virtual pub Pull up a chair, let the talking run From Galway rain to the Boston harbour Many voices, but the welcome’s one Come on in to the virtual pub Bring your questions, bring your view Keep it lively, keep it decent There’s a room here waiting for you [Bridge] For Marcus, raise a glass tonight Coal Gas and Peat, remembered well For every name that joined the fight And every tale the writers tell [Verse 3] There’s room for faith and room for doubt Room for a challenge, room to learn Say what you mean, and hear it out Let tempers cool before they burn And if your first tongue’s Irish speech Let every line come strong and fair A language carries shore to shore When people choose to meet somewhere [Chorus] Come on in to the virtual pub Pull up a chair, let the talking run From Galway rain to the Boston harbour Many voices, but the welcome’s one Come on in to the virtual pub Bring your questions, bring your view Keep it lively, keep it decent There’s a room here waiting for you [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Come on in to the virtual pub Pull up a chair, let the talking run From Galway rain to the Boston harbour Many voices, but the welcome’s one Come on in to the virtual pub Raise your glass and see it through Keep it lively, keep it decent There’s a room here waiting for you [Outro] From Galway roads to Boston town The door is open, come on down
