[Verse 1] Well I walked in the pub with me wages all new And a thirst in me throat like the devil came through She said "Buy me a pint I'll be kind to you" 'Twas the lass with the shamrock tattoo [Chorus] Raise it up Boys Don’t you dare look shy (hey!) Kiss the glass and wink your one good eye If I fall down drunk before I'm through Lay me down by the shamrock tattoo [Verse 2] Her hair was a tangle Her lips apple red Her laugh shook the foam from the stout on me head She whispered "Come home I might share me brew" I got lost in that shamrock tattoo [Chorus] Raise it up Boys Don’t you dare look shy (hey!) Kiss the glass and wink your one good eye If I fall down drunk before I'm through Lay me down by the shamrock tattoo [Bridge] I woke in a room with a bucket and chair Me boots on the ceiling Me pants on the stair No coins in me pocket But one clue or two Teeth marks round that shamrock tattoo (ooh-woah) [Chorus] Raise it up Boys Don’t you dare look shy (hey!) Kiss the glass and wink your one good eye If I die of the drink like I'm bound to do Carve me stone with a shamrock tattoo [Outro] So St. Paddy bless the pint and the sin (hey!) And the wild Irish trouble we’re drowning in If love is a curse Then pour one more brew For the lass with the shamrock tattoo
