We met him in the famous Galway city, he was from the beautiful Donegal town, his wife she must have been fair pretty, to get the spiritual wanderer to half-way settle down
He was so fond of working he forgot he had a wife, he took so strong to drinking he mistook it for a life, he had so strong a presence, peace came to him as if by right
He crossed the seas by boat to England, to use his trade he was London bound, he made himself a small monetary fortune, while his head all the while whizzed around
He was so fond of working he forgot he had a wife, he took so strong to drinking he mistook it for a life, he had so strong a presence, peace came to him as if by right
He built the fairground rides for Disney, with the skill of a man who knows the way, he sang beside the big star Lindsey, she was the love of his life, he loved her night and day
He was so fond of working he forgot he had a wife, he took so strong to drinking he mistook it for a life, he had so strong a presence, peace came to him as if by right
He knew it was the time to find the stillness, to stare out to sea from Sliabh Liag Cliffs, he was certain his wife was sure to leave him, yet, through his faithful presence, the peace still found him on that day
He was so fond of working he forgot he had a wife, he took so strong to drinking he mistook it for a life, he had so strong a presence, peace came to him as if by right
