I left my home, and I picked up a gun,
|
Left the mountains and the valleys
|
And the linnets sweet old song,
|
In defense of Dublin City and
|
Our Rights defense, it’s true,
|
For that is where we met,
|
And I did it all for you.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I did it all for you,
|
Oh I did it all for you,
|
Never a thought within my mind,
|
Not a thing I couldn’t do.
|
I did it all for you,
|
Oh I did it all for you,
|
And now that it’s done,
|
I just don’t know what to do.
|
|
Now our town’s become a city
|
And the dance becomes a ball,
|
And jobs become computers,
|
Which I cannot do at all.
|
Now we are old,
|
And our church’s attendance is few,
|
And now it’s gone and I’m retired,
|
Still I did it all for you.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Oh! You’re dead my love,
|
And our family’s gone away,
|
But so has the loss of privacy
|
And responsibility,
|
But this celtic tiger,
|
Rugged individualism,
|
I just cannot do,
|
Lord have mercy on you love,
|
My god, I did it all for you.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
How do I take care of myself?
|
God, I never wanted to.
