Sally Maclennane - The Phil Kennedy Show, March 1985, Live

Now, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
 He played it from the nighttime to the peaceful early morn
 He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
 And they all looked very happy in the morning
 But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
 Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many Powers
 So sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving
 And he took the road for God knows in the morning
 We walked him to the station in the rain
 We kissed him as we put him on the train
 And we sang him a song of times long gone
 Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on me way
 So, buy me beer or whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away!)
 I'd like to think of me returning when I can
 To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
 The years passed by, the times had changed, I grew to be a man
 I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
 I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
 And ended up a barman in the morning
 I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
 I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
 I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
 Some people left for heaven without warning
 We walked him to the station in the rain
 And we kissed him as we put him on the train
 And we sang him a song of times long gone
 Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on me way
 So, buy me beer or whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away!)
 I'd like to think of me returning when I can
 To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
 When Jimmy came back home, he was surprised that they were gone
 He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
 Some people they are scared to croak, but Jimmy drank until he choked
 Took the road for heaven in the morning
 We walked him to the station in the rain
 And we kissed him as we put him on the train
 And we sang him a song of times long gone
 Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 (Far away!) I'm sad to say I must be on me way
 So, buy me beer or whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away!)
 I'd like to think of me returning when I can
 To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
