The Irish Rovers - The Roving Trade lyrics

The boys in the farm are working the plow They're picking potatoes and milking the cow But we haven't time for shovel or sow We work at the roving trade Here's to the music and here's to the night And here's to the whiskey the water of life Here's to the la**ies we're holding them tight And here's to the roving trade Back on the road we're going to be Rogues and romances of high degree The la**ies are happy whenever they see The boys of the roving trade Here's to the music and here's to the night And here's to the whiskey the water of life Here's to the la**ies we're holding them tight And here's to the roving trade Dublin and Cork and Galway are fine And Limerick is beautiful most of the time But Belfast is never to far from me mind I miss her whenever I roam Here's to the music and here's to the night And here's to the whiskey the water of life Here's to the la**ies we're holding them tight And here's to the roving trade We've traveled the world for many's a mile Singin' and playin' and bringin' a smile And soon we'll be back in the Emerald Isle For Paddy is headed for home Here's to the music and here's to the night And here's to the whiskey the water of life Here's to the la**ies we're holding them tight And here's to the roving trade "Diddly doo dum" to the tune of the chorus twice
